Small shovel (5)

I think it could be either:

spade

scoop

'small shovel' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for spade that I've seen before include "Garden implement" , "Fictional detective" , "black suit" , "Small shovel" , "that has a cutting edge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Universal, The Telegraph, the Newsday.com and the USA Today.
