Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'Say', 'can trade places in', and 'retreat'. One of these is a reversal indicator guiding us to make some fodder go back the other way. Another is a homophone indicator - we'll need to pronounce a neighbouring word and replace it with its soundalike. And a third is a kind of swapping indicator guiding us to swap one thing in some fodder for something else.
- This clue's fodder is 'you', 'I', and 'deluxe'. We'll need to replace one of these with a guided substitution and use it with the letters of the others to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s)
