I doubt they'd be that lenient Pat - I'm inclined to go with the preamble instruction that is clearly that the letter and spacing changes lie in the definition part, thus 'Perhaps he muttered' is the definition and 'fitly at the Globe' is the wordplay - the latter leading to the correct spelling. Shame it wasn't covered by one of the many highlightings as that would have resolved it for sure!

The preamble tells us that one letter and spacing have been changed in the definition, so surely only one answer is correct. The Globe bit is the homophone.

Just to expand, 'Perhaps he muttered' has to be changed, so that is where the definition lies, and the word sounds like a Shakespearean word meaning fitting

I think that rather proves my point, the problem is that I can't be sure where the definition ends and the wordplay starts.

I am sure the definition once corrected, is just two words, so I agree with murky. A three word definition would be an extremely weak and unlikely one

That's what I went for keepatit

Almost done but stuck on 9d and 24d.

Could someone give me a nudge?

I think it is an outstanding puzzle, and the awkward nature of some the clues must be acceptable given the large number of constraints placed upon them by the setter.

However, I still cannot see the definition in 6D. The answer is fully checked and I know the misprinted letter. However, the first three words are adequate wordplay, so the definition must come from the final word, which is presumably split in two?

I must be missing something obvious, since nobody else has mentioned this.

Definition is six letters and it's not just r for run(s)

@demeter...9dn the third d is the misprint. Colonist, think unwanted plant. 24dn second c is a misprint. I've been staring at the final grid for some time and i can't see the ten letter word!
