Mix up (a message, eg) (6)

I believe the answer is:

garble

(Other definitions for garble that I've seen before include "distorted transmission" , "Corrupt" , "Confuse (a message)" , "Give confused account, hard to understand" , "Transmit in distorted version" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
