B???
11ac] Markedly rigid length.[4].

I am sorry to all who have puzzled this. The B was in error, it should be R???
Could it be ROOD? Why?

The answer is RULE; again my apologies...

Can anyone give a subtle hint about 15 Down? P???D??? Example of one "short soldier" taunt by male (8) Don't just tell me the answer though. I suspect it is going to be one of Cyclops's cruder efforts. I can't break into the lower left quarter of the grid at all so far.

4 letter abbreviation for a soldier + 3 letter word meaning taunt + m(ale)

Hi beebeebee, I'm not doing the puzzle but 15d looks like a clue that could grace any puzzle; "short soldier" appears quite often in lots of puzzles and is the 1st part of the wordplay.

Got it!
Thanks!
