Replacement indicators tell the solver that one sequence of letters in an element of the wordplay should be replaced by another sequence. So in the clue “Pass afternoon in repose having succumbed to drink (6)” the A in EASE must be replaced by LAP, producing ELAPSE.<\/p>\n
When the string to be replaced occurs more than once in the target, it is usual to indicate which instance is to be replaced, as in “Grasp problem when son drives off first tee (6)” for MASTER (where S replaces the first T in MATTER).<\/p>\n
There are certain replacement constructions in which a number of different verbs can be used, and not all possible variations are included in the list. Among these generic constructions are:<\/p>\n
The list below can be sorted alphabetically on Indicator, in either ascending (default) or descending sequence. The Search box allows full and partial searching of the first column in the list.<\/p>\n
