Crossword Genius

All good, by the sound of it (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wholly

'all' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'good by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'holy'.
'by the sound of it' shows a homophone (sound like).
'holy' is a homophone of 'WHOLLY'.

(Other definitions for wholly that I've seen before include "Totally" , "Altogether" , "in every respect" , "One hundred per cent" , "Entirely, fully" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
