Crossword Genius

Put in position? Indeed! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sit

'put' is the definition.
(sitting is a kind of putting)

'in position? indeed' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SIT' is hidden within 'position indeed'.

(Other definitions for sit that I've seen before include "Use a chair" , "Be sedentary" , "Take a chair" , "Perch" , "as magistrates do" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
