Hidden <\/em>indicators tell the solver that the solution is\u00a0concealed\u00a0‘within plain sight’ in the clue itself\u00a0(eg ‘Naughty child is part of celebration’ for BRAT\u00a0).\u00a0In addition to the indicators listed below, any containment\/insertion indicator that suggests something being found<\/em> within something else (eg ‘framed by’) can also be used; containment\/insertion indicators that suggest something being placed into<\/em> something else (eg ‘entering’) cannot. Hidden and reversal indicators are often combined, as in ‘Bags making a comeback\u00a0in West End’ for NETS\u00a0.<\/p>\n
