Are you reportedly spun back with the happenings prior to the event (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
run-ups
'back with the happenings prior to the event' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'are you reportedly spun' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'you' could be 'u' (commonly used in online communication) and 'u' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'spun' is 'nups' which is located in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for run-ups that I've seen is " Approaches".)
