Your letters are correct. Skiptoothsaws (Skipto(n) and anagram of the other letters, 'whats so'.

PS. It's normally better to give the clue.

PS. I did try to come up with a little hint, but couldn't think of anything.

Thank you Malone. A new saw to me. I take your point about giving the clue and should not have been deterred by its length.

Glad I could help.

I mentioned giving the clue as I know there are people on this site who enjoy helping even if they don't have a copy of the newspaper/magazine/crossword.

Hi truron,
Chambers Word Wizard is a very useful tool to have in your arsenal. It would have provided the answer for you for this problem.
