Not working because improperly arranged? (3,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
out of order
'not working' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'because improperly arranged?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'because' could be 'for' (I've seen this before) and 'for' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for out of order that I've seen before include "Unfrocked monk is" , "Bust - behaving badly" , "Letters in an anagram are" , "Not going" , "Irregular" .)
