Predicament for woman after flipping lid (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dilemma

'predicament' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman after flipping lid' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'emma' ().
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'flipping' is a reversal indicator.
'lid' written backwards gives 'dil'.
'emma' after 'dil' is 'DILEMMA'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for dilemma that I've seen before include "tricky position" , "Predicament" , "Difficult decision" , "Difficult situation - may have horns" , "Difficulty (with two choices?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
