The req'd answer is actually 4 + 7 letters
The written clue is.'non-skid'

[factor-fiction]

So ant has nothing to do with it, Baldric?

[Tilly2]

safe landing?

[Baldric]

an ant is in the picture
so is a chesspiece, possibly a pawn
also something that could be a snake
and an 'o'

such a misleading clue^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Tilly2]

Is there a picture as well?

[factor-fiction]

apparently the answer according to sailortom's other thread is ANTI something.

[Baldric]

Nothing from OPer yet, if he can't be bothered, neither can I.
;o(

[Tilly2]

............nor me, but I do want to know the answer now.

[factor-fiction]

Ah well, I learnt the names of a few species of ants while researching this. (I read the clue as 'Non-skid ant?")

[dannyk13]

Anti locking ( the picture shows an ant, an eel, a letter o and a king(chess piece)

[Tilly2]

Thank you, dannyk13.

[sailortom]

SORRY FOR ALL THE CONFUSION, I GET IT NOW. ANTE LOCKING

[factor-fiction]
