I have found a few, not many!, examples of the misspelling of 24 online.

Finally finished. An enjoyable one. FOI 15a LOI 17a COD 13a

In my @7 I suggested 24a only worked if the 2nd letter of the 2nd word was a D and also said I'd checked Google and couldn't find any examples of it with that spelling - I still can't, so I'm curious where some of you are finding them.

Here's an isolated example, brendan:

Thanks Chris, but I have a feeling that is also a misprint given that if you scroll down a little way under "popular tracks", you'll see the same track by the same band spelt with a B not a D.

All the examples are likely to be misprints, brendan, as it is spelt with a B!

Sorry Chris, I misunderstood. I thought some people were saying that they'd found examples of justification for that spelling. I didn't realise they were referring to misspellings.

I'd never seen the "D" spelling.
As swarbrules (iirc) mentioned, there is a spelling with "E" as the 3d letter of the 2nd word, but that doesn't parse.

Oh my (forehead slap)...I just noticed the 5th thematic (downwards) and it's the first one I should have expected after 6 suggested a theme. 🤣

Apologies, it was quisling who mentioned the "E" variant of 24.
