Made pun, as well, when it's cut and dried (3,4,2)
I believe the answer is:
all sewn up
'it's cut and dried' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'made pun as well' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pun'+'as'+'well'='punaswell'
'punaswell' with letters rearranged gives 'ALL SEWN UP'.
'when' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
