Mini crossword No 28

Little bit of context: I compiled a full 15x15 grid using this same device and it was distributed at the 'Sloggers & Betters' crosswordland get-together in Nottingham last weekend. So I decided to make a 'Little Brother' counterpart of that puzzle for you lot. [-- Although I am still thinking of posting the 15x15 original here! If literally ONE person says they will solve it, I will post the original 34-clue beast here shortly 😁 --]

Thanks Henri, that was a very enjoyable taster, with some nice tight clueing. I dread to think how long it took to create the beast! Look forward to seeing it in all its glory.

An interesting challenge indeed, thanks Henri!

Good heavens Henri, it’s one thing to do it on a mini but the full beast does sound terrifying! 1d the highlight for now - thanks!

Thanks Henri for a challenging Mini. I needed paper, pencil, & ultimately the check button to solve this. I've done full size 'anagramania' puzzles before but the clues were quiptic in nature. Somehow I doubt 'quiptic' would be your style. 😊
