Supporting justice is tougher, unfortunately (9)
I believe the answer is:
righteous
'supporting justice is tougher unfortunately' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'is tougher unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'is'+'tougher'='istougher'
'istougher' is an anagram of 'RIGHTEOUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for righteous that I've seen before include "Good!" , "Morally justifiable, or people who behave thus" , "Just, upright" , "Morally justified" , "Showing virtue" .)
