Entrance from a mixed (for example) acapella group (7) Home internet + work VPN flakey at the moment, so Nopes and YAUTs etc may be delayed
Nice to see I'm not the only one who has no idea on this one! :laugh:

Or directionless crooners?

Little clue as time is ticking ... Crooners could be alternative to acapella group. But I don't see where 'directionless' comes in.
Think of another word for a crooner, but I don't want tomorrow's so I'm not saying it ...

Hopefully not the anagram for 'singers[^]'
Hopefully, it is the anagram for singers! The parentheses were to indicate that the text after was one of any number of possible alternatives that could lead to the word 'singers'. I chose 'acapella group' as they explicitly do not have musical instruments so highlighting the singers rather than the songs. As another respondent has suggested, 'crooners' would have done as well. INGRESS is the correct answer. (An ingress is an entrance and is an anagram of singers) Especially in UK Health & Safety legislation, ingress and egress are frequently used instead of entrance and exit. In fact, that is where I first came across the word and thought it was an extremely pompous way of saying 'door'. So, sorry, YAUT

And "singers" could be directionless crooners (sWingers)...

Except it's not; ingress refers to the act of passing through a door, not the door itself. A door facilitates ingress and egress; a locked door hinders it. Entrance and exit may be nouns but can equally be verbs, unlike ingress and egress. I've come across "for example" being contentious before, with or without parentheses. I've seen "perhaps" used to convey similar meaning with less ambiguity. Anyway, as
Randordemonstrated, clearly solvable! :)
