Crossword Genius

Graceful pup Les removed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supple

'graceful' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'pup les removed' is the wordplay.
'removed' is an anagram indicator (moved again).
'pup'+'les'='puples'
'puples' is an anagram of 'SUPPLE'.

(Other definitions for supple that I've seen before include "Flexible, not stiff" , "Flexible (body)" , "Lithe and flexible" , "Flexible, bending easily" , "Mobile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
