Fool taken with house formerly troubled (7)
I believe the answer is:
hassled
'troubled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fool taken with house formerly' is the wordplay.
'fool' becomes 'ass' (both can mean a stupid person).
'taken' becomes 'led' (to lead someone somewhere is to take them there).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'house formerly' becomes 'h' (I am not sure about the 'formerly' bit.).
'ass'+'led'='assled'
'assled' put after 'h' is 'HASSLED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hassled that I've seen before include "far from trouble-free" , "Beset by bother" , "Chivvied" , "Annoyed, bothered" , "Troubled" .)
