Thanks sud

Having trouble parsing these, help appreciated.....

13a Heard a line twist in tighter corner (5,5) - ACUTE ANGLE (Corner)

14d Exact changes heard originally on good authority (2,8) - EX CATHEDRA (On good authority)

This is an anagram of EXACT and HEARD, but because the anagram indicator, 'Changes', comes in between the words and 'Heard' is followed by 'Originally', I think there's more to it - but I can't see what.

13 Sounds like A Cue Tangle, a line +twist.

I think Exact changes and Heard changes, and add the O from Originally ('originally on'). Good authority is the definition.

Thanks Malone. Regarding 14d, It sounds a bit 'odd', grammatically, to have the anag. indicator in between the two words, also, there is no 'O' in my answer.

Sorry, Brendan, I don't know what I was thinking of with that crazy O! You're right, it's definitely a strange clue, the wording could be/should be better.

I think I've got it - @changes' refers to EXACT and that's followed by a word that was 'Originally' HEARD, (but isn't any longer).

Or a queue tangle?
