    Thanks for another of your interesting puzzles.
    4D aLl aMpS - even letters AlL AmPs - odd letters aLl AmPs - some odd, some even. What gives?
    2D "Broadcast" is usually a homophone indicator but I can't get see homophone of AIR in the clue.
    • El Gordo 42 🤓2:17 · 2024-01-09T13:01:13.307Z
      It is a homophone for ERR.

        Thank you; blooming "mess up" - another phrase that is in Chambers under "err" but when one looks up "mess up" "err" is not listed. Why can't the book be cross referenced?

        4D aLl-AmPs It is just every other letter starting with the first L. Not odds, not evens, just "regularly."
        P.S. I really like serif fonts, that lowercase L looks just like a capital I :-(

          I see that; thank you. Am I correct in thinking that "regularly" can mean every even letter and also every odd letter?
