Learners with time for five spots (7)
I believe the answer is:
notices
'spots' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for notices that I've seen before include "Observers in section" , "Pays attention" , "Posters; sees" , "Observes the public proclamations" , "Discovers" .)
