Like original software? Deplore ad for a new version (9)
I believe the answer is:
preloaded
'like original software?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'deplore ad for a new version' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'ad' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'deplore' is 'preloed' which is present in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
