Document having got to double figures is praised (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
written up
'praised' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'document having got to double figures' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'document' could be 'written' (synonyms) and 'written' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'up' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
