The clues for this crossword have been split. Each clue is one part from the “Starts” column and one from the “Ends” column. First find a word from the clue and locate the placement in the location whose number is the sum of the numbers of the start and end parts. Put a HOMOPHONE of the answer word with the right length at that location. Each clue is used just once and all parts are used. When done, collect the circled letters (left to right, row by row) to get the Certitude answer. Freebie example: consider 11 dad’s and 6 sister. The sum is 17 and the answer to “dad’s sister” is “AUNT”. It’s homophone is “ANT” which fits fine in 17 Down.
