Managed to get gold box valued (12)
I believe the answer is:
orchestrated
'managed' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'get gold box valued' is the wordplay.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'box' becomes 'chest' (chest is a kind of box**).
'valued' becomes 'rated' (rating is a kind of valuing).
'or' next to 'chest' is 'orchest'.
'orchest'+'rated'='ORCHESTRATED'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orchestrated that I've seen before include "Musically arranged" , "Organised" , "presented?" .)
