This list is intended to reflect the elements which may be encountered in cryptic clues. It will remain a work in progress, and all suggestions for additions will be gratefully received and incorporated.
The first column shows a word or group of words that may appear in a clue. The second column shows how that might translate directly into a group of letters, eg ‘artist’ may translate into ‘RA’. The third column shows what cryptic operation might be indicated, eg ‘holding’ for containment. Where (A), (D), or (A/D) is shown, this means that the indicator is likely to have this meaning in across clues only, down clues only, or any clue.
Interpretations which appear in the standard text colour are ‘mainstream’ and likely to be encountered in any puzzle (these fall into the ‘Standard’ category in the various lists on this site); those shown in grey rely on more obscure senses of the words, and are likely only to be found in barred crosswords (these come from the ‘Advanced’ category); those which appear in purple are ones about which I have reservations (and would not use in my own puzzles) but which have been seen in published crosswords and therefore are likely to reappear.
The list can be searched/filtered using the first column.
