    Many thanks to Mark for moderating WG 66.

    Welcome to WG 67: ‘Sixes and sevens’.

    'At sixes and sevens' means in a state of disarray. For WG 67, please write a cryptic clue where the definition in the clue is an anagram of the true definition. The definition in your clue should be just one word.

    Here is an example:

    Composer's written about a horse (5)

    BACH about A = BEACH
    HORSE anagram = SHORE = BEACH

    Up to three entries, please.

    The deadline for entries is end of day, Friday the 18th of February.

    Good luck,

    Inocula

    Well, my clue doesn't work, but you get the idea...

    Composer's written about Eastern horse (5)

    BACH about E = BEACH
    HORSE anagram = SHORE = BEACH
