Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This was definitely the trickiest clue of the puzzle for me, not because of a pun or wordplay, but because of the challenge of parsing the tricky grammar of the clue, “Never betraying.” My brain just could not compute what part of speech I needed to fill in here, and I flailed around a bit trying out different endings to LOYAL- before deciding to let the crosses fill it in. Ultimately, we were looking for LOYAL TO, as seen in the relationship between “I am never betraying my moral code!” and “I am LOYAL TO my moral code!” I’m not sure this is a perfect 1-to-1 translation of the entry (meaning it’s not necessarily a perfect substitution in those sentences), but it’s pretty close.
