24 Tips for Writing Crossword Clues from an NYTimes Constructor

• Recent Posts

• 24 Tips for Writing Crossword Clues from an NYTimes Constructor - March 18, 2024

Writing crossword clues is a very exact business. Clues need to be entertaining, factually correct, and phrased so that solvers know what they’re asking for — all in the space of just a few words.  

  So where does one go to learn the rules of writing crossword clues? That question arose years ago on a now-defunct New York Times crossword forum, and nobody had an answer. In an attempt to remedy the situation, I came up with the list of 24 rules below. It’s not the final word on the matter, but it does address most of the main issues.

  If you’re looking for even more info about crossword clues, you’ll find the subject addressed in these publications: 1. Patrick Berry’s  Crossword Constructor’s Handbook ; 2. Matt Gaffney’s  The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Crossword Puzzles & Word Games ; 3.  The NYT Crosswords to Boost Your Brainpower  (with solving and cluing tips from Will Shortz and Frank Longo); 4.  Sage Advice on cruciverb.com  (some cluing discussion); and 5. Amy Reynaldo’s  How to Conquer the NYT Crossword Puzzle  (although that’s more about solving than cluing).

1. NUMBER: If the answer is plural, the clue is plural.

2. PARTS OF SPEECH: If the answer is a noun, the clue is a noun. For verbs, if the answer is intransitive, the clue is intransitive.

3. TENSE: If the answer is in the past tense, the clue is in the past tense.

4. FOREIGN: If the answer is French, the clue is French or has a French reference.

5. SLANG: Generally speaking, a slang answer will have a slang clue (and eras must match). But there are three basic categories of words — standard, informal, and slang — and a clue can often move one category without further hint. This rule might be less strictly applied in more difficult puzzles.

6. ABBR.:  If the answer is an abbreviation, a common way of handling the clue is to use an abbreviation somewhere in it (especially a word that is not commonly abbreviated). Another way of cluing an abbreviation (especially in easy puzzles) is to use an “(abbr.)” tag at the end of the clue.  Note : Acronyms or initialisms that are more commonly abbreviated than not, such as U.S. or NFL, won’t usually signal an abbreviation in the answer. Likewise, in other than easy puzzles, RSVP as an answer doesn’t need to be signaled as an abbreviation in the clue, since no one spells out RSVP.

7. SHORTENED WORDS: An answer that’s a shortened form of a word will be signaled in the clue. For example: “May race, for short” for INDY. “Briefly” or “familiarly” are similarly used as tags. This rule can sometimes be ignored in more difficult puzzles.

8. SUBSTITUTION TEST:  The clue must be able to be used the same way in a sentence as the answer. For example: “Started ahead of time” for JUMPED THE GUN. Substitution test: He  started ahead of time  in the race; He  jumped the gun in the race.

9. DIFFICULTY: An obvious answer for a Monday clue will probably be right. An obvious answer for a Saturday clue will probably be wrong.

10, PARENTHESES:  “(up)” at the end of a clue indicates “up” follows  both the clue and answer. For example: “Liven (up)” for PERK. A parenthetical word or phrase might also provide additional information, such as a synonym for the answer, “Play to ___ (draw)” for A TIE, or a further explanation, “Lhasa ___ (dog breed)” for APSO.

11. ?: A question mark after a clue indicates wordplay or trickery is afoot.

12. KIND OF/TYPE OF: MEAL might be clued as “Kind of plan.” Even though a meal isn’t a kind of plan, “meal plan” is a common phrase. In effect, the clue is using “kind of” instead of a blank: “___ plan.” Some editors will never use this kind of clue, considering it awkward.

13. MULTIPLE WORDS: In many puzzles, answers that are phrases of two or more words are not signaled in the clue. It’s up to the solver to discover this. In easy puzzles, “(2 wds.)” will be used at the end of the clue.

14. QUOTES: A phrase in quotes signals the answer is a similar, spoken phrase. For example, “Can’t be done!” for NO WAY.

15. QUALIFIERS: Clues often use words or phrases as a tag to indicate the clue wouldn’t always be true for the answer. Examples: sometimes, usually, occasionally, of a sort, perhaps, in a way, for one, etc.

16. e.g.: If the clue is an example of the answer, rather than a description, “e.g.” is used. For example: “Atlantic, e.g.” for OCEAN. Similar tags such as “say,” “for example,” and “perhaps” also signal that the answer is more general than the clue.

17. AS: “Use, as an ax” for WIELD gives a bit more context than just “Use.”

18. NAMES: When a clue asks for the name of a person, the answer is the last name (or sometimes the full name). If the person’s first name is being asked for, there must be a signal in the clue, such as including the person’s last name, the first name of a role he/she played, or the first name of a costar.

19. MYTHS: If a clue uses a disputed fact, a tag such as “supposedly” or “they say” is used.

20. VAR.: If you see “Var.” at the end of the clue, prepare for cringing. This is an indication that the constructor and editor couldn’t find a way around using a variant spelling. Luckily, this is rare these days, but the good news is that it’s probably also an indication that there’s really nice stuff nearby in the grid to make up for it.

21. REPETITION: An answer word won’t be used in its own clue. Generally speaking, no answer word from the entire grid will be used in any of the clues, except for common words like THE, OF, AND, and so on. The same answer word won’t appear twice in the same grid, although sometimes small parts of answers, such as ON, might appear more than once. These rules do vary depending on the editor and circumstances.

22. WITH:  In a clue such as  Become understood, with “in” , the answer needs “in” after it to fit the clue. In this case, the answer is SINK, since  sink in  =  become understood .  •  A clue such as “Word with tea or ground” is looking for a word that either precedes  or  follows both words. Possible answers: BALL can follow both; HIGH can precede both. In easier puzzles, the clue will likely use the more definitive “before” or “after” instead of “with.”  •  A clue tag such as “with 22-Across” means the answer continues and the end of it appears at 22-Across.

23. BRACKETS: A clue contained within brackets indicates a non-verbal answer. For example, [Uh-oh!] could be a clue for GULP, as opposed to “Uh-oh!” (in quotes), which might clue YIKES. Likewise, [What a dreamboat!] is a clue for SIGH. Think of these clues as interpretations of what a sound or gesture might mean.

24. ARTICLES:  Although articles are usually not used at the beginning of a clue — such as “Australian bird” for EMU, rather than “An Australian bird” — articles should be used in the middle of a clue. For example, KIWI should be “Fruit with a fuzzy skin,” not “Fruit with fuzzy skin.” An exception to the no-article-at-the-start rule is “A Great Lake” for ERIE, since there are five choices.

Word Search

The Amazement Journey

Frequently asked questions, what is a word search.

A word search is a puzzle where there are rows of letters placed in the shape of a square, and there are words written forwards, backwards, horizontal, vertical or diagonal. There will be a list of words for the player to look for and the goal of the player is to find those words hidden in the word search puzzle, and highlight them.

How do I choose the words to use in my word search?

Always Ready to Order

Joe DiPietro takes us back to old Rome.

By Deb Amlen

Jump to: Today’s Theme | Tricky Clues

THURSDAY PUZZLE — Last week I wrote about how constructors’ brains fascinate me because they can come up with unusual, creative ideas for what is essentially a two-dimensional pastime that simply involves crossing words. These puzzle makers have elevated the craft to include three dimensional puzzles and visuals that delight the eye, as well as unparalleled wordplay, mostly enabled — sorry, make that encouraged — by Will Shortz, Joel Fagliano and their merry band of editors.

Creativity is one thing, but how do some of these constructors manage to be so prolific? I asked Sam Ezersky, an editor of the Crossword, who has had 55 puzzles appear in The New York Times in eight years. It boils down to noticing things that are not readily visible to others, and setting them aside for future use.

“As Will Shortz says, they have flexible minds,” he said of these constructors.

“I jot things down in my Notes app all the time,” he continued, “just properties of phrases I notice. Some things I’m able to turn into fully fleshed out, fun puzzles.

“Your mind just becomes increasingly attuned to thinking ‘Hey, imagine if you could take that phrase and use it to explain this sort of wordplay.’”

Today’s Theme

Joe DiPietro offers four theme entries where Roman numerals substitute for parts of phrases. The theme clues sort of hint at this trick by ending in “ … in old Rome?”

For example, at 16A, the answer to the clue “Used extreme caution, in old Rome?” should be “walked on e ggshells,” but the crossings demand that we write it as WALKED I GGSHELLS. The I in that phrase is the Roman numeral one, and it stands in for the letters O, N and E.

Let’s do another one. At 57A, the answer to the clue “Do a judge’s job, in old Rome?” should be “w eigh t he evidence,” but we need to write it as W VIII HEEVIDENCE. The VIII stands in for the letters E, I, G, H and T, or eight.

It took me a while to catch on, but I really enjoyed figuring out Mr. DiPietro’s theme. There’s nothing like a good brain flossing to get one ready for the tough Friday and Saturday puzzles.

Tricky Clues

9A. You thought that the “Body part where a sock might go?” was a foot, didn’t you? This sock is not the other half of a pair that didn’t get lost in the wash. It’s a punch, and the target is the CHIN.

19A. “Cross state” would be one word if you are traveling across a state, but in this puzzle, the two-word clue is hinting at being in a state of crossness. The answer is IRE.

26A. “Where F comes before E?” refers to the gas gauge (from full to empty) in a CAR.

44A. An ERG is a unit that measures energy or work. I think “What a piece of work!” is a clever clue.

45A. At first, I read “Surname in the 1946 western ‘My Darling Clementine’” as a reference to the song, and couldn’t figure out for the life of me what EARP had to do with it. It turns out that this clue refers to the film starring Henry Fonda and Victor Mature. The moral of this story is “Always read the clues twice.”

64A. This is great wordplay. “Always ready to order?” has nothing to do with having committed a menu to memory. It’s about ordering people around, and the answer is BOSSY.

14D. In publishing, “proofs” are the preliminary versions of a book or article. The person “who might bear the burden of proof?” is an EDITOR.

22D. I’m guessing that the “Apt Greek letter for a University of Pennsylvania fraternity is PHI, because it is sort of short for Philadelphia. If I’m not even close, please feel free to ridicule me in the comments.

51D. I was not familiar with BEERY as an adjective for the “smell of a pub,” but it certainly seems apt.

52D. Is writing SWAK, a “Love note acronym” short for “sealed with a kiss,” a thing anymore? Maybe for those who write love letters by hand.

56D. The “Nixon nix” is a VETO. Why Nixon? My guesses: 1) Former President Nixon was known for vetoing important acts of legislation, and 2) alliteration.

Constructor Notes

This puzzle started out as a blackjack idea with a revealer of “double down,” where the Roman numerals doubled as they were read from top to bottom in the grid. Ultimately, the payoff wasn’t that great. Of course, the casino was Caesar’s. Finding a 15-letter entry with IV was the most difficult. I originally submitted the puzzle with circles around the numerals, but like it better without them!

Jewish Life Stories: A voice for women in an age of ‘Mad Men,’ and a legend in the world of crossword puzzles

This article is also available as a weekly newsletter, “Life Stories,” where we remember those who made an outsize impact in the Jewish world — or just left their community a better or more interesting place. Subscribe here to get “Life Stories” in your inbox every Tuesday .

Ilon Specht, 81, a copywriter who told women they were ‘worth it’

In 1971, L’Oreal, the French beauty company, hired the U.S. ad agency McCann-Erickson to launch a new line of hair color called Preference. While the men on the account sat brainstorming ideas for the pricey dye, a 23-year-old copywriter named Ilon Specht fumed.

“I could see they had this traditional view of women and my feeling was that I’m not writing an ad about looking good for men,” she told The New Yorker in 1991 .

Specht offered her own slogan, which put the woman’s perspective front and center: “Because I’m worth it.” The ad campaign became a sensation, and by the 1980s, Preference overtook Clairol’s Nice’n Easy in the hair color wars.

“She created a commercial for Preference hair color that spoke to women directly and told them that they had identities beyond the men in their lives, and for that reason, they were worth it,” L’Oreal wrote in a company history. “It was bold and unifying, and ultimately, became timeless.”

Specht later became creative director of Jordan McGrath Case & Taylor, and in a long career wrote memorable copy for the Peace Corps, the Red Cross and Underalls pantyhose. After retiring from advertising, she opened an art and home decorating business in California.

Specht, 81, of Ojai, California, passed away on April 20.

Nancy Schuster, 90, a ‘goddess’ of the world of crossword puzzles

Nancy Schuster had a long career as a crossword puzzle constructor, editor, competitor, judge, and mentor. (Courtesy)

Nancy Cahn Schuster  was raised in the Bronx on the Grand Concourse and attended the Bronx High School of Science. “I attempted to solve my dad’s Times crosswords from about age 9 or 10,” she once recalled.

After her own children grew older, she began to construct puzzles for various publications, and in 1978, she finished first in the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in her first attempt. “She became a goddess to everybody” in the world of crossword solvers and constructors , Stanley Newman, a longtime puzzle editor at Newsday, told the New York Times .

Schuster went on to work as editor in chief of Dell Champion Puzzles magazines, and was also the editor of the “Random House Crossword Puzzle Dictionary.”

“She was a tester of puzzles for the New York Times for many years, debating clues and answers with her lifelong friend Will Shortz [the Times’ crossword puzzle editor] up until her 90th birthday” last July,  her family wrote in an obituary .

Schuster, 90, died April 26.

Ellis Kaplan, 78, a photographer on the frontlines of the tabloid wars

In a four-decade career at The New York Post, photographer  Ellis Kaplan  haunted courthouses in his native Queens, New York and snapped crooks, judges, cops and bystanders for the brash daily.

“A quintessential son of Queens, he served on the frontlines of the tabloid wars during a bygone era,” said Lia Eustachewich, The Post’s managing editor of news . “He was a friendly face on door knocks, an expert when it came to Queens court, and was truly dedicated to his photography.”

According to The Post, Kaplan was found dead last week in the same Jamaica, Queens apartment where he lived since 1963. He was 78. Friends said Kaplan had virtually no family and very little money, and set up  a gofundme page to pay for Kaplan’s Jewish burial .

Sheppie Abramowitz, 88, a passionate advocate for refugees

In the aftermath of World War II, Sheppie Abramowitz ’s mother opened the family’s Baltimore home to Jewish refugees. In the 1960s, Sheppie started volunteering for the International Rescue Committee, the agency formed in 1933 to help refugees from Nazi Germany.

Over the course of five decades, she served as IRC’s vice president of government relations, special advisor, family liaison director and a volunteer teacher in Hong Kong, Thailand and Austria. She stewarded the founding of IRC’s office in Washington, D.C. (and often would enlist her brother, the pianist and composer Phillip Glass, for IRC fundraisers).

She “believed passionately that the IRC was the best vehicle to save lives and protect refugees, and she worked her whole life to strengthen its ability to fulfill its mission,”  said her son, Mike Abramowitz .

She died April 7 at age 88. Her survivors include Mike, her daughter Rachel and her husband, Morton L. Abramowitz, a career diplomat who served as the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
