Virginia finds cover correct (5)
I believe the answer is:
valid
'correct' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'virginia finds cover' is the wordplay.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'finds' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cover' becomes 'lid' (lid is a kind of cover**).
'va'+'lid'='VALID'
(Other definitions for valid that I've seen before include "Effectual" , "Still legally acceptable" , "Binding" , "Legally acceptable and sound" , "Reasonable" .)
