  Solvers! (I see you!) Hopefully you enjoyed my puzzle enough to leave a little note, it's always appreciated. If you had issues or felt there was room for improvement, please don't be afraid so say so. Thanks!

  A quick rinse-down for you who got stuck:

  ACROSS

  2A. anag. LAP + ultimately "has" = S. 4A. In Spain, "the" = EL + blade = FIN. 7A. Reversal of friend = PAL. 8A. Way of working (modus operandi) = MO + Seine = NET. 9A. Lead to silver = S + sticky stuff = TAR.

  DOWN

  1D. double def. 2D. homophone of "a good deal" = "A LOT". 3D. Circular figure = PI + for every = PER. 5D. strong = F + removal of depth (= d) from "and". 6D. double def.

    Oh, fine -- so, sometimes comments seem to disappear, so I post them again, but then the old one reappears, so now I've posted the same thing twice and can't delete the duplicate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Hmm I'm not sure why you saw comments disappear! But deleting comments is on the to-do list

  I've been seen! Couldn't figure out why "Seine" is NET, but otherwise a fun little grid

    This was new vocab to me as well, but a seine does turn out to be a sort of large fishing net.
