3 is right, 7 is not (although the number of letters fits). There’s an answer for 7 that better fits the theme of the puzzle.

Yep. It took me forever to come up with a clue for that. I figured a doorstep is often a wedge of wood.

...but yeah, not the best clue.

Mr. Wilson

Yup!

Good work, folks! I hope it gave you a little enjoyment on this dreary day. Perhaps I should put together a real crossword at some point.
