In today's crossword, the clue "Flak - cling" corresponds to the answer "STICK." Here's why this clue leads to the answer:

• Flak: This part of the clue is a word often used to describe heavy and possibly contentious criticism or opposition. When someone is receiving flak, they are dealing with a barrage of negative feedback or resistance.
