About Cryptic Boost

Cryptic Boost is for anyone who loves cryptic crosswords but sometimes gets stuck. Instead of handing over the answer, it explains the clue in stages, so you can stop as soon as the penny drops.

Our explanations are written by an AI model trained to parse cryptic clues. It's very good, but not infallible, especially with the hardest puzzles. When it isn't sure, it says so.
