Divvy once again on X, perhaps working on riot (11)
I believe the answer is:
reapportion
'divvy once again' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'on x perhaps working on riot' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'x perhaps' becomes 'app' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'working' indicates an anagram.
'on'+'riot'='onriot'
'onriot' with letters rearranged gives 'ortion'.
're'+'app'+'ortion'='REAPPORTION'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
