Sorted out the law I'd broken, getting time inside (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
dealt with
'sorted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'out the law i'd broken getting time inside' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'law' is 'alw' which is located in the left over letters.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dealt with that I've seen is " Sorted".)
