10a BETRAYAL anag
4d is shylock
As in selling secrets or selling someone down the river.

To explain SHY as in coconut shy = throw


and (of course) LOCK = jam

Question Author

Thanks crofter.


I had betrayal as the anagram but how does it fit the selling bit?


And I get shylock as the moneylender but how does that fit throwing jam?


Always like to try and understand the whole clue to be sure and to learn for next time.

So Wordfinder is ISTYKNIEEHP - ?
Please excuse my interjection, crofter, hope you don't mind.
There's a bit of cross-posting going on. My explanaition is given above. I thoroughly agree with your wishing to know PRECISELY why the solution fits all aspects of the clue. A great policy! Cheers
is there a programme called KITCHEN TYPES?
Question Author
Not that I can find, although I doubt it would be easy to get anything else to fit those letters!

selling = betrayal e.g. sell down the river


lock in shylock = jam as in gridlock - traffic jam

Question Author
Sorry crofter, I'm not really on the ball tonight - re Kitchen Types = letters are istyknieehp = there is no c, you would need another t and an i would be left over. Not belittling all your other solutions though.
