To obtain acknowledgement, order direct (6)
I believe the answer is:
credit
'to obtain acknowledgement' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'order direct' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'direct' with letters rearranged gives 'CREDIT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for credit that I've seen before include "support for one with money problems" , "Positive bank balance" , "good character" , "Believe - recognition" , "Opposite of debit" .)
