New to cryptic clues?

Each clue gives you two ways to the same word: a definition and a little recipe for its letters. The number in brackets tells you how many letters you need.

Use any hint you like. Indicator shows the instruction; fodder shows the letters to work with; definition shows the meaning. You can also reveal one random letter at a time. There’s no timer.

Cryptic is its own daily puzzle. It does not add points, XP or a streak to the main Daily.
