In the position to plead wildly, keeping a cool head (6)
I believe the answer is:
placed
'in the position' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'plead wildly keeping a cool head' is the wordplay.
'wildly' is an anagram indicator.
'keeping' indicates putting letters inside (some letters kept inside).
'head' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'cool' is 'c'.
'plead' anagrammed gives 'plaed'.
'plaed' enclosing 'c' is 'PLACED'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for placed that I've seen before include "Positioned" , "Set" , "Put in position" , "Put, situated" , "In the first three" .)
