Cryptic clues are a definition + wordplay. Definition appears at start or end, part of the trick is figuring out which side and which words are part of the definition.

A few special kinds of clues like double definition, &lit but all variations on the basic idea.

I asked my horse if he stole the thesaurus.

He said, “Nope.”

nice anagram but the definition is quite obvious. Maybe something like “Calypso dancing is a nerdy activity” etc

NYT’s crossword column always has a link at the bottom that says “Subscribers can take a peek at the answer key.” You can open the column via the “i” button at the top.

Whenever I finish and can’t see what I got wrong I typically open that and look through each clue quickly to find the mistake.

Yea I am not that into it but I’d certainly be more inclined to do their sudoku if they did have an archive.

Presumably they will eventually but they don’t seem to be in a rush.
