is there a letter count for the first please?

[fiction-factory]

Ah- sorry- all one clue spread out a bit.
letter counts do help plus known pattern too if you have any more

[Mamyalynne]

It's all one clue - Bare Bones so letter counts only clear once grid settled.

Okay thanks. The layout threw me

Many thanks

Apologies to fiction factory...

No big deal really. I didn't know it was Bare Bones. Might be worth mentioning the crossword name next time though to stop people like me asking for letter counts. Good luck
