Make light of being out of order and try to land (8)
I believe the answer is:
downplay
'make light of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'out of order and try to land' is the wordplay.
'out of order' becomes 'down' (both can mean temporarily broken).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'try to land' becomes 'play' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'down'+'play'='DOWNPLAY'
'being' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for downplay that I've seen before include "Treat as unimportant" , "moderate" , "Avoid promotion" , "Not make a lot of" , "Make light of" .)
