Thanks to the hardy souls who tackled this week's Clueless - 24 clues from 12 setters.

Touches I liked included; the prof's recipes for 'crab cake', 'carbs & keto', FJ's 'crabbit' & 'unhinged', which made me smile, the use of () by jono 4, tyke 15, jimmy 33 and BBM2's ballistic 'arm band'.

Also liked buddy's 'backwater' (though wasn't sure about 'primitive' as an indicator), dorrien's 'bra kit' (the correct pronunciation, according to Chambers, though not one I'm accustomed to).
Kt's lovely 'becket' was a new word to me, but there it is, in Chambers. I couldn't find a cricketer with the single T, though.
My favourites were paul 6, jono 8, peterm 16, buddy 21 and paulh 34.
There can only be one winner though. I would have liked a QM at the end, but I've gone with jono's # 18
