Intermediate's Cryptic Crossword
$begingroup$
My second attempt at making a cryptic crossword using the tips I was given in my first attempt.
I'm not sure if they adhere exactly to the rules, as there are a couple occurrences of homophones.
Also note that where applicable, the English spelling is used as opposed to American spelling.
