Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue for today's crossword puzzle is "Act as The Informer in part allocated selflessly" and the answer for this clue is "RATON". Let's break down the clue to understand why it leads us to this answer.

1. Act: This part of the clue suggests that we are looking for a verb, something that someone does.
2. as The Informer: This indicates that the act we are looking for is related to someone informing or revealing something.
3. in part allocated: This suggests that the act takes place within a portion or segment that has been assigned or distributed.
4. selflessly: This word indicates that the act is done without personal gain or consideration.

Putting all these components together, we can deduce that the answer is "RATON". Here's how each part of the clue connects to the answer:

1. The act of informing or revealing can be associated with a rat, as rats are often associated with snitching or providing secret information.
2. The phrase "The Informer" further reinforces the connection to a rat, as informers are sometimes referred to as "rats" informally.
3. The mention of "in part allocated" suggests that we need to take a segment or portion of a word or phrase. In this case, we take the first part of the word "RATON."
4. The word "selflessly" indicates that we need to remove any selfish or personal gain from the segment we took. By removing the last two letters of "RATON," we remove the personal pronoun "on" and are left with "RAT."

So, "RATON" fits the clue as it represents the act of being an informer ("rat") within a portion or segment allocated ("RAT") devoid of personal gain ("RAT" without "on").
