Set point lost, but make quick progress (4,2,2)
I believe the answer is:
step on it
'make quick progress' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'set point lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' indicates an anagram.
'set'+'point'='setpoint'
'setpoint' with letters rearranged gives 'STEP ON IT'.
'but' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for step on it that I've seen before include "Hurry! - set point (anag)" , "Get a move on!" , "Move quickly" , "Go for speed" , "to flatten an insect?" .)
