Get into a snarl (6)

I believe the answer is:

tangle

(Other definitions for tangle that I've seen before include "Twist, snarl, knot" , "Confused situation; a seaweed" , "Twist into a confused mass, say wool" , "Complication" , "Confused interwoven mass" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
