        Really enjoyed decrypting this… nice one! Stymied by 4d until in hindsight guessing that “novel” indicates anagramming??

          Glad to hear it :) Your guess is correct! "New" is another tricky anagram indicator you can keep an eye out for... anything that means "unconventional" is typically fair game. Thanks for solving!

          Would you mind breaking down 1A for me? I got it from the definition but haven't been able to parse the wordplay.

            Of course! I used "picked up" as a homophone indicator: "CUR+MITT"
