12 Spin doctor will occasionally move stealthily (5)

P?O?L

Its obviously PROWL - but how does the clue break down?

I can see spin - PR but how do you get the owl - is it doctOr WiLl - occasionally - in which case - what tells you to start halfway through the segment, and isn't that a bit naughty?

Should it read " Spin doc will " or have I missed something entirely different?

Not sure of the o
the wl is from 'will occasionally' - occasionally being every other letter

Try as I might I can't fathom it either, maybe there is a luminary out there that can assist?

dot dash,to be fair you did say"I suppose",so Billy was only confirming your answer.And somebody did say that they still cannot understand.
Billy also said"it has been answered",perhaps he should of cited you as the solver?

Hi tonyw

It seemed an unnecessary post to me, but I am " on the spectrum " and often get these things wrong!
