How Our AI Works

Our AI explainer uses large language models (LLMs) to analyze cryptic crossword clues and generate explanations of how the wordplay works. The AI is supplemented by rule-based verification using established cryptic crossword indicator databases.

Limitations

  • AI may misinterpret clue structures, especially novel or unusual wordplay
  • Explanations may contain factual errors about word meanings or abbreviations
  • The AI does not have access to the specific crossword grid or crossing letters
  • Difficulty ratings are approximate and based on pattern analysis
