jumble up
Throw into disorder
To jumble up is to mix things together in a disordered way, or to confuse or muddle them: Someone jumbled up all my papers.
The phrase emphasizes the resulting disorder more than the simple verb jumble: The letters were jumbled up so badly I couldn't read them.
Things can also get jumbled up in your mind—confused or disorganized thoughts.
