Welcome to fifteensquared. As Rennie suggests, ‘notice’ for AD as advertisement is one you may want to salt away for future use – it pops up quite frequently.

I’m a newbie to cryptics and am very glad to have discovered such a great site. Sorry if this a dumb question but for 26 Across I really don’t get how ‘Notice’ gives ‘AD’. Is this just a standard abbreviation I’m not familar with or a quikry crossword one that I’m too green to know?

Thanks
Robert

On the ball again, as always!

Thanks but I’m still not convinced. We need a sentence where gamble can be replaced by back to mean the same.

Thanks for the compliment!

Trial and error, really- I sussed the first one ages ago, by clocking/copying the URL that appeared in the address bar, and if it didn’t work going back and trying a different route…sometimes all fail, but not very often

And, of course, it means you don’t have to buy the unnecessary bits of paper
