      Thank you! I like the idea of introducing a new word or two through a crossword, and anagrams seem like a particularly fair way of doing it. If you can solve the rest, you're most of the way there!

      Nice, challenging puzzle with clever clues. I particularly liked 1 down. I also didn't know 5 across and confused myself horribly by thinking it must be SLATE, which threw me for a while. You foxed me good and proper!

        Thank you! It's nice to know it's hit that balance of fair, fun, and challenging!
