Objective

Solve the daily cryptic crossword clue using wordplay and definition.

Playlin'sGuide

Krypticle is a daily cryptic crossword challenge where you solve one cryptic clue at a time.

Each clue contains two parts. One is the definition, and the other is wordplay that leads to the same answer.

The wordplay may use classic cryptic clue techniques such as:

  • Anagrams
  • Hidden words
  • Containers
  • Reversals
  • Homophones
  • Deletions

Your goal is to figure out how the clue works and enter the answer that fits both the definition and the given letter count.

If you get stuck, you can reveal helpful hints such as:

  • A letter from the answer
  • The definition portion of the clue
  • Wordplay indicators
  • The clue’s fodder

Why we like it:

  • βœ…A great introduction to cryptic crossword solving.
  • βœ…Teaches real cryptic clue techniques.
  • βœ…A satisfying daily puzzle for wordplay fans.

Hint: Try to separate the definition from the wordplay first. Most cryptic clues contain both.

Playlin's Guide is based on our experience and details from the creator’s official site.
