List of Codes for Cryptic Clues
Application of codes is a common feature while solving Cryptic Clues in Crossword Puzzles as in Cryptic Clues Type "D"
In the process of solving them, some words are replaced by their respective codes before anagramming with a few other letters or words to derive the Answer word. Codes can be abbreviations, acronyms, symbols or just single letters that can mean or sound like a word. For example, the letter "A" can mean "one" or "single", letter "B" can mean "be" since they sound same (homophone), letter "C" can mean "see" - homophone again. Similarly letter S can mean "yes" but it can also mean "dollar" since S is the symbol for dollar. "L" can mean pound or fifty but can also mean "learner" or "left" and "R" can mean "right" or can mean "are". Likewise, X can mean "ten" (roman numeral) and Y can mean "why". More examples of codes are listed in the table below.
The list is by no means exhaustive and will be updated from time to time.

HINTS AND EXPLANATIONS FOR CRYPTIC CLUES TYPE “D” – CD1 to CD5
CD 1: Truly, he is in action (6)
Let me
rewrite the clue this way: TRULY, he is in action (6)
TRULY (colour coded in RED and
shown in CAPS ) is the Question
Answer is a synonym of the word TRULY
You have to get the answer by using the rest of the clue.
Here the word in (colour coded blue) is
used to get the answer. But the answer is a 6 letter word. How do we get the
other 4 letters?
For this, we use the word action (colour coded in red and
italics) and anagram its synonym with the word in
Synonym of action = deed. So in + deed = INDEED is
the Answer
Summary: In + deed (synonym for action) =
INDEED = TRULY
Similarly, let's look at the clue CD 2
CD 2: Being in favour of draw, moved ahead (7)
Let me
rewrite this way: Being in favour of draw, moved
AHEAD (7)
For (synonym
for in favour of) + draw = FORWARD = AHEAD
Understand the explanations for the above two clues and
try to solve the rest of the clues. I’ve rewritten clues CD 3, CD 4 and CD 5
using the above colour code. Hope this helps. Wishing you the best for the rest!
