As you can see above, the two words I was looking for are hidden diagonally: LOAD and CARGO
Now for some more detail regarding three of the clues:
CLUE #1: [Cryptic Clue] Rang up a former Slipknot guitarist: GNAR
- Here's an explanation on how to solve this cryptic clue: if you look at the third column in the filled-in 4x4 grid, you'll notice that the word RANG is going UP! RANG UP! In other words, RANG spelled backwards is GNAR, the former Slipknot guitarist!
CLUE #2: Slang for "abhorrer" popularized by a 3LW song: HATER
- According to Know Your Meme, "Hater" (specifically, the phrase "haters gonna hate") first appeared in 3LW's song "Players Gon' Play", which I remember watching back in 2000 on MTV's TRL. I won't link to the song, but for the sake of interest, the chorus containing the phrase is as follows:
The playas gon’ play / Them haters gonna hate / Them callers gonna call / Them ballers gonna ball
CLUE #3: Final single off of Unkle's Never, Never, Land: REIGN
- I know I could have just as easily used a clue like "Dominion" or something, but I like this song, and I wanted more people to know about it. In case you haven't heard it (which is pretty likely), below is the music video for Unkle's "Reign" (yeah, I know it's a weird video, but then again, I like weird videos!)
