Muddled claims hob got broken (9)
I believe the answer is:
shambolic
'broken' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'muddled claims hob' is the wordplay.
'muddled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'claims'+'hob'='claimshob'
'claimshob' with letters rearranged gives 'SHAMBOLIC'.
'got' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shambolic that I've seen before include "In a total mess" , "Chaotic, mismanaged" , "all over the place?" , "all over the shop" , "Disorderly" .)
