Helpful Hints

• 'Oddly' and 'cancelled' are our indicators — one is a selector (telling us which letters to select) and the other is a deletion indicator (we'll need to delete something).
• Our fodder is 'exhibit' — we'll need to use these letters as directed by the indicator(s).
• Applying the indicators to the fodder won't quite get us to the answer! This is unusual! Once we've done that, we'll need to apply one more technique - a common substitute - to get to our answer. That's why the question mark is here, flagging a bit of extra stretch.
• The definition is 'Midday' — our answer will be a word meaning this time of day.
