[Hint] Zeroes – 19 August 2024

Last week’s puzzle, Zeroes, caused difficulty for many people. If you are one of them, hopefully the hint below will be useful.

After that, look at Pair Off, the new puzzle for this week, and the final puzzle before next week’s meta. Can you complete these word pairs?

Change those Zeroes to Heroes by changing one letter of every answer. The new letters will spell out the clue phrase.

The fifth clue has been changed to “Body of a ship”, due to an unfortunate red herring.
