Half of a noted crime duo
Answer:
CLYDE
Hint:
Partner of Bonnie who famously roamed the Central U.S. during the Great Depression with a sawed-off shotgun.
Explanation:
This clue refers to the infamous criminal pair Bonnie and Clyde, who were notorious outlaws during the 1930s. The word "half" signals that you only need one name from the duo, and since "Bonnie" is the female half, the answer is the male counterpart. It’s a straightforward reference to a well-known historical pair, with no hidden wordplay—just a direct nod to pop culture.
