    I very much liked 7A and 2D. Short words are hard to clue in interesting ways, so I appreciate seeing you find good ones!

      Hello again solvers, and thanks for having a peek at another of my mini-cryptic shenanigans. Hope I didn't strike too many bum notes. Follow along at https://crosshare.org/tuber for notifications whenever I post a new puzzle, which is to say, about once or twice a week (rarely more and often less.) Here comes the wash-up:
      ÀCROSS. 1A. Reversal of "water level" = TIDE. 4A. Reversal of "paddles" = BATS. 6A. Hidden in "dobermANNULtimately". 7A. Containment of "medium" = M in "service without hope of return" = ACE. 8A. Reversal of "look" = PEEK.
      DOWN. 1D. Reversal of "stake" = ANTE. 2D. Containment of "cake's first" = C in "Scandinavian" = DANE. 3D. anag. TEAL. 4D. Initial letters. 5D. "bad" = BUM + "parking" = P.
      I'm aware that this one's got a lot of reversals, for which sameness I can only apologise.

        I really enjoyed this cryptic. I only had one problem with "stalemate".
        • frostyjhammer 🤓2:09 · 2023-10-24T19:56:08.282Z
          Enjoyable little puzzle, with approachable cluing throughout, thank you.

            My key regret for this puzzle is that I couldn't find a fair way to clue BUMP with a variant on the phrase "parking at rear".

              Nice cryptic! For your explanation, did you mean that 8A was a double meaning instead of reversal?
              • tuber constructor · 2023-10-25T09:03:02.170Z
                Thanks! 8A's intended as a reversal ("over") of "look" = PEEK, but is there another meaning of "look" or "look over" that I've, er, overlooked?
                • Elle 8:43 · 2023-10-25T19:35:11.893Z
                  That's the meaning I got, too. Keep as in "to observe or pay regard to", seemed to also match "look over" (as in "watch over".)

                love these, thanks :)

                  Extremely clean and approachable! Unique word choice with indicators ("tangled", "stake raised"), which went a long way in making every clue feel different.
