Cryptic overlaps

I also thought of SENSEI and since it’s a sound alike I was mulling over whether SENSEI is meant to be evocative of “census”, but hadn’t quite worked it out yet.

It’s not SENSEI, but a similar word. Only two letters are different.

SENPAI (PAI=Predictive Accuracy Index in crime statistics)

++++

The Voivode of Wallachia’s contemporaries called him paler than most others.(7)

Correct, but crime = sin, ratio = pi, sounds like “sin pi”

Impaler (sound alike)

+++++

To discuss again about the place where you live (9)

I’m thinking along the lines of “RESIDENCE”, but can’t see how “sidence” could mean “discuss”, so it seems wrong.

I think Oly’s playing off how RESIDENCE and RESIDENTS sound alike.

Not RESIDENTS/RESIDENCE, but correct first two letters.

Beware of misdirection RE puzzle type

An additional hint is hidden in the previous hint

So, something like REV+HOME+IEW? “review” ABOUT “the place you live”? Though obviously not exactly that, 'cause it doesn’t work.

Alternate wording:

To discuss again changing the destination of a letter (9)

Is it READDRESS?

:+1:

Someone wisely tapped out a warning about the box. (8)

SOCRATES (SOS + crate)


Native’s kimono accommodates Alaskan. (6)

Native’s kimono accommodates Alaskan. (6)

ESKIMO

++++++

Unpleasant feelings for a traveller misusing economist’s sink. (6, 8)

MOTION SICKNESS (economist’s sink*)

+++++

Note: half a shake (10)

SEMIQUAVER (double definition)

She likes to play cavern.io with Archie. (8)

VERONICA (anagram)


Unit Controller going to Niagara Falls to another country. (9)

Nicaragua (Niagara + UC)

++++

Take back a rug and mug? That’s dense! (4,3)
