Inserted and put in face up (6)
I believe the answer is:
inlaid
'inserted and' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'in face up' is the wordplay.
'face' becomes 'dial' (face of a clock).
'up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'dial' written backwards gives 'laid'.
'in'+'laid'='INLAID'
'put' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inlaid that I've seen before include "Like embedded material" , "decorated with studs perhaps" , "Having been set into surface to be parallel with it" , "Decorated with inset pieces" , "Adorned with inserted wood etc" .)
