Communicated in a weird way (5)
I believe the answer is:
wired
'communicated' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'a weird way' is the wordplay.
'weird' can be anagrammed to 'WIRED'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wired that I've seen before include "Equipped for electrical connection" , "set up for broadcast?" , "Sent a telegram" , "Using cables; tense, edgy" , "Connected to an electricity supply" .)
