Down answers
The retrieved answer list verifies nine Down entries. It does not expose a confirmed answer for 1-Down, so that entry is left unresolved rather than guessed.

- EXILE

- EAR

A note on two Across entries
Parade gives 8-Across as LAGS and 10-Across as TWANGS. Another dated guide’s search result reports LAG and TWANG, respectively. The guides therefore disagree on the final S in both entries; the original grid was not available in the reviewed sources to settle the discrepancy independently. Parade’s own hint and answer sections use the plural forms.
