Unlock the mystery: Is forbidden to – Find the answer here!

As a detective solving the mystery of the crossword clue “Is forbidden to,” I immediately thought of words such as “prohibited,” “restricted,” or “barred.” However, none of these words fit the given letter count. I started to consider other possibilities, and that’s when I noticed the word “not” in the phrase. This made me think of the word “may” which often implies permission or possibility. Combining “may” with “not” resulted in the answer “MAYNOT,” which fits both the letter count and the clue’s meaning perfectly. It’s satisfying to be able to solve the puzzle by carefully considering the clues and making connections between possibilities.
