Card is a funny queen

[kayakamina]

How many letters?

[crofter]

Perhaps JEST + ER

[dynamicduo]

More likely JOKE ER (card = funny + Queen)

[dynamicduo]

Perhaps queen is just R for Regina

So it is joke + r = Joker which is a card

[crofter]

If it is, then it's via JOKE + R(egina) - rather than ER

Only KayB holds the answer - 5 letters or 6?
Joker or Jester?

kayakamina is quite right, the number of letters should have been given at the beginning! All this uncertainty could have been avoided!

[crofter]

I am a bit late with that last message! However note that Jester can also be a card - although the case for "joker" is starting to tip the balance.

[Rambler]

I've got joker, which also fits with the interlocking clues.

Sorry, I forgot to say 5 letters.Thanks all.
