Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'releases' and 'declaring'. One is a deletion indicator - some fodder will be let go from some other fodder. The other is a homophone indicator flagging that we'll need to say some neighbouring fodder out loud and replace it with its sound-alike.
- This clue's fodder is 'Liam', 'answer', and 'Oh'. We'll need to find one-letter substitutes for two of these and combine them with the letters of the third to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'it's rather stretchy?', and the question mark is a small tip-off that the definition might be... well... rather stretchy (or punny). In this case, our answer will be something that's known to stretch, in a manner of speaking.
