With dogged hope, put together a jumble of items (10)
I believe the answer is:
hodgepodge
'a jumble of items' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'with dogged hope put together' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'put together' indicates anagramming the letters (put the letter together correctly).
'dogged' put next to 'hope' is 'doggedhope'.
'doggedhope' with letters rearranged gives 'HODGEPODGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
