Crossword Genius

Produces a secret arrangement (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

creates

'produces' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a secret arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'secret'='asecret'
'asecret' with letters rearranged gives 'CREATES'.

(Other definitions for creates that I've seen before include "Brings into existence" , "Produces" , "Complains" , "Generates" , "coins" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
