      Oh, you had me stumped on 3D with the indirect anagram and clever definition. Loved 1D and 5A; very playful!

        Thanks Aaron! Although I enjoy the "wrinkle" that the indirect anagrams provide, I admit that they can feel rather unfair. I think I'll take care to avoid them in the future :)

        Very nice! 1A was a head scratcher - not a term used in the UK.
