Get in a tangle, using tin tinker reworked (9)
I believe the answer is:
interknit
'get in a tangle' is the definition.
(knit or tangle together)
'using tin tinker reworked' is the wordplay.
'using' is an anagram indicator (the letters used in a different way).
'reworked' indicates an anagram.
'tin' with letters rearranged gives 'int'.
'tinker' anagrammed gives 'erknit'.
'int'+'erknit'='INTERKNIT'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
