Worked land badly inside broken gate (7)
I believe the answer is:
tillage
'worked land' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, I know that 'land' relates to this answer.
'badly inside broken gate' is the wordplay.
'badly' becomes 'i'll' ('ill' can be adverbial as in 'ill-advised').
'inside' is an insertion indicator.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'gate' with letters rearranged gives 'tage'.
'ill' placed into 'tage' is 'TILLAGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tillage that I've seen before include "Land preparation" , "Agricultural work" , "Spadework" , "Cultivation of crops" , "Working of the soil" .)
