Crossword Genius

Time of confusion, by the sound of it (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

days

'time' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'confusion by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'confusion' becomes 'daze' (daze is a kind of confusion).
'by the sound of it' shows a homophone (sound like).
'daze' is a homophone of 'DAYS'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for days that I've seen before include "See 25" , "Times" , "See 7 and 18" , "24-hour periods" , "Periods (of week)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
