Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'to avoid', 'starter' and 'on and off'. Two of these are selection indicators. One directs us to take every second letter of some neighbouring fodder, and the other points us to the first letter of a word. Our third indicator is a deletion indicator - we'll need to ignore something in some fodder and pay attention to the rest.
- This clue's fodder is 'taut' and 'humming'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s)
- Our definition here is 'Stretch opposite spring'. There is a stretch opposite spring and we'll need to find its name.
