Five letter word for day's labors . Down freed at the end to make 4 letter word for Beam.

Beam as in smile.

Sorry, sunray!

Short, as in short changed I.e. cheated.

Thanks to both. I had a wrong letter for an entry (thus an incorrect word) intersecting with "Beam down, freed from the day's labors". With the help from both of you, I've completed this.

Nothing to be sorry about, aristo.
We both started typing simultaneously.

I probably gave too much of a hint.

Phew, that is quite a clever clue, really! So have that last 12 letter word.

I have some strange letters for 5 dn

Thank you for encouragement and help, all. My son just delivered wine box, should help!

I'm glad you've stuck with it Rosalind, it really is an excellent puzzle.

5d is an anagram and a standard word.

Enjoy your wine:-)

Got 5 dn now, thank you Brendan. I had the answer to 29 ac in 12 ac, which gave the silly letters

Given the current circumstances, it seems we'll all be in a state of isolation for the foreseeable future and I'm looking for some A1 puzzles to help occupy the mind.

This last crossword was my first Harpers and it was an absolute corker, and so I was wondering if anyone could recommend another one.

Thanks
