I believe you're going for "addled" which means confused.

If you mean addled, that is mixed-up, confused, mystified, scatterbrained, harebrained, ditzy, or absentminded. I would use it as more of a temporary condition, however. It may depend on what part of the country you come from.

This term generally means a person who is not quick on the uptake. In other words, this person would not comprehend what you are saying or writing to him/her. Peace and God Bless.
