I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

let

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for let that I've seen before include "Was inclined to ignore" , "Allow, don't hinder" , "Permit; lease" , "Rent out: grant" , "Won't stop you" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Universal, The Sun, the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.
