Helpful Hints
- 'Changed', 'to protect', and 'initially' are our indicators — one tells us to anagram some letters, another tells us to put some letters around some others, and a third tells us which part of a word to select.
- Our fodder is 'surname' and 'privacy'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as directed by the indicator(s).
- The definition is 'Undercover reporter' - and the question mark on the end suggests that this definition is a slight stretch. It may also push you on your pop culture knowledge a little. If you're finding it obscure, turning to the wordplay section might be your best bet!
