Brown dog mess? (6)
I believe the answer is:
jumble
This might be a double definition.
'brown dog' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'mess?' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Untidy mess ' mean 'jumble' so perhaps 'mess' could also mean 'jumble')
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jumble that I've seen before include "Fund-raising event less common in affluent society" , "Mix up (second-hand items?)" , "Untidy mess" , "Odds and ends for sale" , "Confusion - for sale?" .)
