So puts an even chance in a different way (6)
I believe the answer is:
tossup
'a different way' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'so puts an even chance' is the wordplay.
'so puts' anagrams to 'TOSSUP'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tossup that I've seen before include "An even chance as determined by coin flip" , "The throwing of a coin to decide outcome" , "Flip in the air - it's a gamble" , "Use of coin to decide" , "Situation with equally likely possible outcomes" .)
