This list contains the\u00a0coded\u00a0expressions\u00a0used to select letters from a word or words in cryptic clues (eg ‘a little crossword’ = C). Solvers may encounter any of these indicators; setters should note that some crossword editors\u00a0will not accept certain of\u00a0the more questionable ones (eg ‘piece’ indicating the first letter – it could be argued that a ‘piece of cake’ could\u00a0just as\u00a0well be A, K or E as C).<\/p>\n
