Stumped on crossword clues? Find the answer to ‘Particulars, informally’ here!

As a detective, I first observed the use of the word ‘informally‘ in the crossword clue. This signaled to me that the answer likely would not be a formal, official term, but rather a colloquial or slang term used in common conversation. I then looked at the length of the word: 5 letters. I considered words that fit this length and met the criteria of informal language. ‘Deets‘ came to mind as a possible solution since it is commonly used as a slang term for ‘details.’ I then confirmed this suspicion by looking at the intersecting letters of other clues, checking to see if they matched with the letters in ‘DEETS.’ Once I saw that they did, I knew I had solved the mystery of the crossword clue ‘Particulars, informally‘ – the answer was ‘DEETS.’
