OK wordsmyths, here's the 21st instalment - it may take a bit longer: Rolling Eyes

I'm looking for a 9-letter English word (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) which matches the following

Clues:
The letters 5, 8, 6, 2 & 3 (in that order) spell a type of STUD.

I think I got it. It was stud that gave it to me. None of your clues, Mac.

I know it's none of my clues, because I've worked them all to death! The only other stud I've thought of is BOARD. (It is a distracting word, Bib!)

Bib: No new stud in my life. Just the studs on my Chippendale calendar and on my http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:K48rbuS-BCkC:indigo.ie/~bollarde/pics/cloth/jtouch.gif, but, don't worry, I'm happy.

Sigh, got it... Rolling Eyes

Thanks Raggedy, I had seriously given up! I looked at those shoes and thought, "But I tried cleat and spike!"

(Gee, it's a good thing I only crumpled this scrap of paper and threw it across the room instead of ripping it up, I guess.)

The word is TETRALOGY. The stud is an AGLET, and the unit of measure is TROY.


Very Happy
