In the know (5)

I think it could be either:

aware

hipto

'in the know' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aware that I've seen before include "Acquainted with or conscious of" , "Acquainted with or mindful of" , "Having knowledge or realisation" , "Cognizant" , "Attentive" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The New York Times, the Universal, the USA Today, the Newsday, The Mirror, The Washington Post, the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and the King Feature Syndicate.
