Frequently Asked Questions

What does the confidence percentage mean?

The confidence percentage shows how often this answer appears with this exact clue across all tracked crossword puzzles. A 95%+ score means you can use this answer with very high confidence. Lower scores (60-80%) might indicate wordplay variations or publisher-specific patterns.

Why do I see multiple answers for one clue?

Crossword clues sometimes have multiple valid answers. This happens with:

  • Wordplay or puns that have alternate interpretations
  • Themed puzzles with specific answers
  • Clues reused in different puzzles with different answers
  • Synonyms that fit both the clue and the grid

The primary answer is most common, but check your crossing letters to confirm.
