Crossword Genius

Led far, reorganised and spread out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flared

'spread out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'led far reorganised' is the wordplay.
'reorganised' indicates an anagram.
'led'+'far'='ledfar'
'ledfar' anagrammed gives 'FLARED'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for flared that I've seen before include "Became suddenly bright or wide" , "Blazed up - widening out" , "Blazed with sudden flame - like temper" , "(Of nostrils) dilated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
