| | The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - Cryptic Clues |
 | | There are also a number of other common clues used for single letters, such as "point" or something similar for one of the compass points (N, S, E or W), and "note" or the like for a musical note (A, B, C, D, E, F or G). |
 | | A cryptic clue is one which contains both a straight clue to the answer and a clue which uses wordplay to portray the answer. |
 | | Anagrams- the answer or part of it might be an anagram of the clue, with a word such as "confused" or "muddled" to indicate that it is an anagram, eg "a gal is confused..." for "gala-" in "galadriel". |
