A cryptic crossword features clues written like mini word puzzles. Each clue typically consists of three things: a definition (just like a standard American crossword), a wordplay indicator, and wordplay fodder. These last two parts are unique to cryptic crosswords, and work as a set of coded instructions to lead you towards the answer. Check out our intro to cryptic crosswords for detailed examples of how cryptic clues work.
