They make trouble in rows or tiers perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
rioters
'they make trouble in rows' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'or tiers perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'or'+'tiers'='ortiers'
'ortiers' anagrammed gives 'RIOTERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rioters that I've seen before include "Violent protesters" , "Rabble-rousers" , "Violent troublemakers" , "They disturb the peace" , "Crowd disturbing the peace" .)
