‘Make amends’ clue difficulty, answered

As I often play the NYT Mini Crossword puzzles, I knew the answer to this clue because I’ve had to solve it before. However, if you don’t play this crossword regularly, or if you don’t know many synonyms for “amends,” this clue would be pretty tough to solve, which is why I’m giving it a four out of five in difficulty.
