From Spain arranged to get back, needing help (2,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
in a spot
'back needing help' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'from spain arranged to' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (from the letters).
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'spain' is an anagram of 'inasp'.
'to' is an anagram of 'ot'.
'inasp'+'ot'='IN A SPOT'
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in a spot that I've seen before include "Facing a problem" , "Facing difficulties" , "Having trouble" , "Awkwardly situated (colloq.)" , "up the creek" .)
