misperception that the 'quick' crossword is easier than the cryptic crossword.
Yet a moment's reflection should be sufficient to dispel this myth. The
so-called 'quick' crossword – which is perhaps better referred to as 'straight'
– is neither quick nor easy. The fact that people believe it is simply suggests
that they have been lucky.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
This type of crossword
relies on two things for its completion: a knowledge of synonyms, and
mind-reading. While it is true, as someone put it, that there are no synonyms
in English, there are certainly enough <b>near</b>-synonyms
to choose from when it comes to crosswords.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Take, for instance,
this clue:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i>Achieved (3)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i></i><br /><i></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
What answer is the
compiler looking for? Won? Got? Did? Any of these is possible. Indeed, a
colleague told me in 1979 that a man he'd met in the pub the night before was
having trouble getting the very last clue of his (straight) crossword. It
transpired that the reason for the impasse was that, incredibly, answers to all
the other clues were wrong.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
This could almost
certainly never happen with a cryptic crossword because each clue consists of
two parts rather than one: the definition of the answer, which is equivalent to
the clue in the quick crossword, and a secondary indicator which tells you how
to arrive at the answer. You just have to understand the strange mangling of
the English language that comprises the crossword code. As the compiler Afrit
put it:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
"You need not
mean what you say, but you must say what you mean."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Let's take a few
examples. First:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i>Egyptian flower (4)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i></i><br /><i></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
You might be
wondering, what kind of flower grows in Egypt? A Rose? An Iris? And in so doing
you would get precisely nowhere. But think of flower as rhyming with lower, you
realize it is something which flows, ie a river, and you deduce the answer
immediately: Nile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Having mentioned the
word 'lower', perhaps we might try this:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i>A little lower on the farm (4)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
If you start thinking in terms of height, you
may as well abandon all hope. Just as a flower in the first clue referred to
something that flows, so a lower in this clue refers to something that lows, ie
a cow or a bull. Clearly, a <i>little </i>lower
is a calf.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Before we leave this farm, consider this:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Farm
butter (4)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
As you may have surmised, a butter in
'crosswordese' is something which butts – in this case a goat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
These are examples of the compiler deliberately
setting out to draw you into making a false assumption, from which point it is
all downhill unless and until you can step back and realise that is exactly
what you've done.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Other clues have more obvious indicators. For
example, "all over the place" or "disconcerted" would indicate
an anagram:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Such
an event would disconcert astronomers (2,4,5)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i></i><br /><i></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
The word
"disconcerted" indicates that the answer is an anagram of
"astronomers". The answer is: No more stars.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Other indicators
include:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Detailed – meaning the
end of the word has been cut off ie de-tailed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Beheaded – the first
letter of the word has been chopped off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Midnight – that is,
the middle of the word "night", ie "g".<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
Finally, crossword
compilers have a great sense of humour. Some years ago the Daily Telegraph
crossword featured the following clue:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i>What an incompetent deep sea diver must do to
get rid of an irritation? (4,2,2,7)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
(A question mark at
the end of the clue, by the way, indicates a mangling of the language that will
cause the solver to groan.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
The answer? Come up to
scratch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It
has been said that the job of the cryptic crossword compiler is to lose the
battle gracefully. The 'battle' is one of wits between the compiler and the
solver, and there is little that is more pleasurable than solving a really good
clue. </span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Except, of course, solving the whole puzzle.</span></span></span></div>
