Double Meaning

I’d rate double-meanings (where ‘See ad’ = SPOT) as the simpler breed of clue, especially where only two words are offered. That way, spotting the brevity, a solver may presume that two meanings are required - though presuming is a dangerous habit when it comes to decrypting. This elegant bunch are all double-meanings, and go from breezy to brain-strain.
