And Eva managed to sort out where Reno was (6)
I believe the answer is:
nevada
'sort out where reno was' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'and eva managed' is the wordplay.
'managed' is an anagram indicator.
'and'+'eva'='andeva'
'andeva' is an anagram of 'NEVADA'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nevada that I've seen before include "US state, NV" , "Curiously, Dan and Eva are in the US" , "State of western USA" , "Southwestern US state" , "Sagebrush State" .)
