      I don’t get why breaking waves is IR
      Great puzzle! Good accessibility for such a tough format

        Thank you!
        "waves" = infrared (electromagnetic waves), "around" acts as an anagram indicator for "mopes", and "breaking" acts as an insertion indicator. That's definitely a tricky one!

          Got it. Thanks
