Again lays out the back cookers (10)
I believe the answer is:
rearranges
'again lays out the back cookers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'again lays' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'lays' becomes 'arranges' (arranging is a kind of laying).
're'+'arranges'='REARRANGES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rearranges that I've seen is " Sorts".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
