Crossword Genius

Parts for confused loser (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roles

'parts' is the definition.
(parts in a play)

'confused loser' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'loser' anagrammed gives 'ROLES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for roles that I've seen before include "Theatrical parts" , "Actors' parts" , "Dramatic parts" , "Parts in plays" , "Parts in a play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
