Two in difficulties being pulled along (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
in tow
'being pulled along' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'two in difficulties' is the wordplay.
'two in' can be anagrammed to 'IN TOW'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in tow that I've seen before include "Trailing behind" , "Following as companion" , "Along for the ride" , "being pulled along" , "getting carried along" .)
