<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">clown's pole</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for stilt that I've seen before include "bird found on shore" , "Long-legged wader" , "gets one member off the ground" , "Stout pole with a foot rest -- wading bird" , "Supporting column driven into the ground - wading bird" .)
