It requires full exposure of untidy mess (6)
I believe the answer is:
nudity
'it requires full exposure' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'untidy mess' is the wordplay.
'mess' is an anagram indicator.
'untidy' is an anagram of 'NUDITY'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nudity that I've seen before include "State of complete undress" , "State of nakedness" , "feature of post-watershed TV?" , "State of total undress" , "notable feature of Hair" .)
