Reporter's prize money is susceptible to fiddling (10)
I believe the answer is:
meddlesome
'fiddling' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meddlesome that I've seen before include "Interfering" , "nosy?" .)
