Edit: 9d, not 13d (13d doesn't exist; pardon my drowsiness, as I wrote this between two translation tasks...)

Some of my favorites are 17a (because I've been translating all summer) and 13d (because it's got a great definition).

@guineverecryptic.bsky.social sets today's Indy cryptic, and I think you should do it! I find it the right puzzle for a Tuesday morning: it's both gentle and inspiring for those getting into regular cryptics.

Thanks Boatman! I hadn't mentioned that when I asked, but I also use quite a lot of first and last letters too; I'm trying to cut those down when writing clues recently.

Mine appears to be deletions. Experienced setters, is there a limit on that?
