Good evening experienced solvers,

I’m looking to try to get some letters on the board; I have a few answers.

Can I please ask for your help with 2 clues?

14a Charges a levy, reportedly (7) A*T****

I realise this must be a homophone, but it is beyond my comprehension.

13d Cleaning assistant backing great deal to buy the Guardian (5)

T****

Yes, Attacks, charges, accuses etc - and it sounds like A Tax, a levy.

13d I think TOWEL

Reversal of WE "the Guardian" inside LOT ("great deal")
Not sure I've ever seen "to buy" as a containment indicator, but unobjectionable IMO.

Oops, the WE isn't reversed but LOT is.

The heading said “Qaos” which I’m assuming should be “Prize”. Could someone please confirm this🤔

Hi Norah
It was just yesterday's puzzle, not the Prize. Qaos was the compiler.
