Clothes Heather's accidentally getting back to front? (8)
I believe the answer is:
garbling
'accidentally getting back to front?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'clothes heather's' is the wordplay.
'clothes' becomes 'garb' (garb is a kind of clothes).
'heather' becomes 'ling' (synonyms).
'garb'+'ling'='GARBLING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for garbling that I've seen is " Mixing up".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
