Gets across editor's methods (10)
I believe the answer is:
procedures
'methods' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'gets across editor's' is the wordplay.
'gets' becomes 'procures' (procuring is a kind of getting).
'across' indicates putting letters inside.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'procures' enclosing 'ed' is 'PROCEDURES'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
