How does accurate fit the clue and the letters?

[SpellingBee2]

Letter 'l' is wrong. Read the question?

[SpellingBee2]

PS the cryptic clue also backs up the answer

[kayakamina]

That answer would fit a question like Account by clergyman is precise (8)

[kayakamina]

Spellingbee2 Are you saying that the clue for 17down in today's Mail On Sunday Sir Lancelot is not 'Account by clergyman is precise(8) ?My copy is this and intersects with indecently,influx, you name it and Tree Surgery. Just interested that there may be two versions of the puzzle for different areas.

Cheers K

[SpellingBee2]

The clues are the same. I don't understand why you are querying my answer when the clues back it.

[kayakamina]

It was just you told me to read the question! I did and it didn't match!

[SpellingBee2]

Clearly some of us find it does match...

Anyway, end of this.

kayakamina,

Please read the rules to Sir Lancelot and His Page and stop making pointless, inaccurate postings.

kayakamina,

You made similar, daft postings last week.

Can you not read the Sir Lancelot rules?

There are two sets of clues, and one answer.

Cryptic = Sir Lancelot
Quick = His Page

You are a crossword solver, for God's sake!
