Pusher to stay very near after us (6) SH OVER
I can understand how we get 'hover' but s?

ADVERTISEMENTS


Is this an anagram? If so, where do you get 'r' from?

I had the same problem with both the clues and that is why I didn't highlight anything in red. I guess these are just the quirks of Ms. Jaggi that we have to contend with ...

S from "stay" & HOVER!

SEVEN+ DIETS+MART = ADVERTISEMENTS

So, MART = Mess maybe?
