Some cryptic clues require you to spell a word BACKWARDS. They will give you (not necessarily in this order) (1) a non-cryptic definition of the answer (e.g. if the answer is NET, the clue might include the words "fishing equipment" or "barrier in court") (2) a word or phrase cluing it's a BACKWARDS clue, e.g. "in reverse", "retreating", "returning" "the wrong way", "upside down", "after revolution" etc. (3) the word you have to spell backwards (e.g. TEN) OR a non-cryptic clue to the word you have to spell backwards (e.g. Number) e.g.1 Ten returning to get fishing equipment (3) e.g.2 A number returning to construct a barrier in court (3)
