      I tee-heed when that clue popped into my head. Thanks for solving!

        Agreed!
        • Sendhil Revuluri 🤓2:03 · 2025-04-29T19:33:05.191Z
          Indeed, that was a very nice one!

              Good one, Jeff!

                Some of these were simply too difficult for me, it is a double diamond after all, but I'm curious what the explanation for 6A is?
                • JeffsPuzzles constructor · 2025-05-01T23:10:34.349Z
                  Parse it as short a's, not short as. Ban, can, Dan all have short a sounds; adding an e at the end coverts the a to a long sound. Thanks for giving it a try. Next week's mini/midi will be gentler.
                  • Spencer Congdon 25:00 · 2025-05-02T23:41:04.726Z
                    Ohhhhhhh the sound, not the spelling. Bah, just a new perspective to add to the toolbox. Cheers!

                  Enjoyed that, but I don’t get the clue for 4D…

                    British equivalent to gaol - if you're in stir, you're in gaol. Or so say the British detective novels I read. Thanks for solving!
