Cryptic Crosswords

Cryptic crosswords are different from regular crosswords. Each clue usually consists of two parts: a literal definition of the answer, and an indication of the answer derived through wordplay. The straightforward definition may be at the beginning or the end of the clue, but never in the middle.
