How to solve this clue

If you're stuck on this one, here are a few angles that often help with LA Times clues like this:

  • Watch for misdirection. If the clue ends in a question mark or feels weirdly phrased, the answer is probably a pun, a homophone, or a non-literal interpretation.
  • Match the part of speech. A noun clue takes a noun answer; a verb clue takes a verb in the same tense.
  • Crosscheck with the perpendicular entries. If the Down entry is fighting you, fill in the Across words that cross it.
  • Consider context. Theme entries often relate to the puzzle's overall gimmick.
