Classic newbies sometimes confuse as being easily understood (10)
I believe the answer is:
accessible
'being easily understood' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'classic newbies sometimes confuse' is the wordplay.
'sometimes' means one should take alternating letters (some of the letters are taken at regular intervals).
'confuse' is an anagram indicator.
The alternating letters of 'newbies' are 'ebe'.
'classic'+'ebe'='classicebe'
'classicebe' anagrammed gives 'ACCESSIBLE'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accessible that I've seen before include "Approachable; easily understood" , "able to be reached" , "Open to be got at" , "Easy to talk to; approachable" .)
