Neat within a valid requisition (2,4,5)
I believe the answer is:
in good order
'neat within a valid requisition' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'within a valid requisition' is the wordplay.
'within' becomes 'in'.
'a valid' becomes 'good' (I've seen this in another clue).
'requisition' becomes 'order' (I've seen this before).
'in'+'good'+'order'='IN GOOD ORDER'
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?
