the meaning of a word

Does anybody know what's the meaning of the word "Confelter-Skelter"? seems very weird. No references in any dicts that I can find. Even though I placed it in Google, not a single result turned out. thanks

silentgrass,

 

Unless it is some sort of word made up as a pun I suspect a typo for helter-skelter.

 

That means haphazard(ly)/hurried(ly). It is named after an old funfair ride where you slid down a spiral slide round the outside of a tower while sitting on a mat.
