Grid now adjusted for syntax (7)
I believe the answer is:
wording
'syntax' is the definition.
(grammatical arrangement of words)
'grid now adjusted' is the wordplay.
'adjusted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'grid'+'now'='gridnow'
'gridnow' with letters rearranged gives 'WORDING'.
'for' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
