STRATEGY

Definition: plan of action (at the end of the clue)

How to solve it

  1. Replace 'errant' with its synonym STRAY (to wander).

    errant → STRAY
  2. 'Back' is the reversal indicator — reverse 'get' to TEG.

    get → TEG
  3. 'In' is the container indicator — place TEG inside STRAY to get S-T-R-A-TEG-Y.

    TEG in STRAY → STRATEGY
