patella

[emmie]

patella

[emmie]

beat me to it...

[1ozzy]

By a gnats whisker,

[emmie]

indeed... but easy one today

[satprof]

Thanks geevo.

They might be playing games, or have a misprint, but I can't see any way of getting 'patella' into the grid. Probably just me. (My better half tells me that I couldn't find a band in a telephone box.)

Unfortunately, I have to go out, so can't delve further myself but hopefully others will.

[geevo41]

is it 'kneecap??'

[emmie]

i still think it's patella....

[dannyk13]

I think patella is too easy an answer.I agree with Geevo that it could be kneecap.

[Hibaldstowdave]

It is indeed kneecap and it starts 1,13,12,12

[emmie]

then a change of best answer for geevo. to kneecap,

[Etch]

Hibaldstowdave deserves Best Answer for confirming 'kneecap' and giving the letter decodes

[emmie]

its up to satprof to sort out later.

[Dummyfluter]

Confirm KNEECAP

[mouseymick]

Kneecap ..1,13,12,12,10,2,7 … Q is 18.

[Etch]

Well done Hibaldstowdave, Dummyfluter and mouseymick. Always good to get the correct answer from those who have actually solved the puzzle.

[satprof]

Geevo got 'kneecap' first so he still gets the BA. Nevertheless, thanks to hibaldstowdave with the letter codes and dummyfluter for confirmation (& also mouseymick for his letter codes every day.)

Should be patella according to clue Pat & Ella anagram but won't go in anywhere So has to be kneecap
