Provided for being set at a higher level (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
fixed up
'provided' is the definition.
(fixing up is a kind of providing)
'set at a higher level' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'set' could be 'fixed' (synonyms) and 'fixed' is found in the answer.
'higher' could be 'up' and 'up' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
