Want to say indiscriminately, undiscerningly, but they don't seem to fit. Also omnidirectional.

Ah, I've been thinking that since I first saw it, but was confused by the use of the "new".
― Horace Silver Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah it's not the best clue.
― ledge, Tuesday, 11 August 2009 15:54 (fourteen years ago) link
No, it was a good clue. But by US rules, you wouldn't make "new" mean "N" and then throw it into the anagram, it would have to be the start of the word, whereas it seems like in the UK that kind of thing is accepted.
― Horace Silver Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 16:00 (fourteen years ago) link
imo it's the kind of clue that breaks a couple of the stricter rules (wordplay into anagram, "run" is a weakish anagram indicator), but passes because it's fun overall (good surface, "runs any which way" is a great anagram indicator, even though it doesn't turn the whole into a proper &lit).
