10a BETRAYAL anag

[crofter]

4d is shylock

[geo0939]

As in selling secrets or selling someone down the river.

[crofter]

To explain SHY as in coconut shy = throw

and (of course) LOCK = jam

[Squidgybum]

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.

[Squidgybum]

Sorry guys - crossed in the post!! Thank you

[Squidgybum]

So Wordfinder is ISTYKNIEEHP - ?

[geo0939]

Please excuse my interjection, crofter, hope you don't mind.

[crofter]

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

[crofter]

is there a programme called KITCHEN TYPES?

[Squidgybum]

Not that I can find, although I doubt it would be easy to get anything else to fit those letters!

[alanogden]

selling = betrayal e.g. sell down the river

lock in shylock = jam as in gridlock - traffic jam

[Squidgybum]

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.
