Confused deity not ultimately limited by speed? (4,2,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
tied up in knots
'confused deity not ultimately' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'limited by speed?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'limited' could be 'tied' (tying is a kind of limiting) and 'tied' is located in the answer.
'speed?' could be 'knot' (knot is a nautical measure of speed) and 'knot' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
