Set a puzzle full of holes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riddled

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'set a puzzle' is the first definition.

'full of holes' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for riddled that I've seen before include "Spread throughout" , "Pierced with many holes as by tommygun" , "didn't talk plainly" , "spoken obscurely" , "screened" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
