Per thesaurus.com:
advance
ameliorate
amend
augment
better
boost
.....

You get this advanced lifter: ===[**WCF**]===

Grinch here. That list of words are not synonyms of "amend", they are listed as synonyms of words related to "amend". And when you search "advance", "amend does not show up.

Synonyms must be mutual, direct synonyms. reindeer

I've seen people get slapped with a limp noodle before, in this very forum. I'm glad to see that CanukDenis was spared because amend=advance seems close enough (to me). Granted, North-American usage of English is kinda sloppy (not to mention our respect for "rules" whistle).

Sometimes, dictionary/thesaurus.com confuse me. For example, they list definitions:

Amend: to improve, eg: "To amend one's ways"

Advance: to improve, eg: "To advance one's interests"

"Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other" ~ President Lincoln (quoting Euclid)

btw, for synonyms of 'advance', amend shows up on page 3. Out of 23 pages!! scared

3rd place out of 23 … close enough? think

I think it's a stretch, and almost left the clue unanswered, but thank you for the Belt! blackkitty

Just as well the noodle department is still infused with Christmas spirit. wink12

Next clue on new thread.

lol12 I'm still in a holiday mood, so no beatings until next year.

Helmer, you pretty clearly fall in the non-purist group, but I don't personally agree with the mathematical approach to cryptic clues. I like clean, elegant ones that don't require trips to the thesaurus.

But that's me, and I love that this thread is so active. smile12

"Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other"

President Lincoln would have received a noodling for that had Pandora been around lol12
