I shouldn’t think there is…it would take the fun out of it.

You make up loads of different types of cryptic clues based on several techniques.

1) anagrams (there are plenty of sites for those)

2) synonyms – again plenty of sites

3) juxaposition of words leading to an answer within the words

4) puns – think them up

5) Using the first letter of each word in a sentence to make the answer, starting the clue with ‘initially’

6) Doing the above but using the last letter and ‘lastly’

7) So many more…….look at a cryptic crossword and its answers on the following day and work out how it was done. It’s fascinating to study and even more fun to concoct.

Enjoy

I don’t think so but you could use an anagram site to help you create cryptic clues.

Try these:

www.wordsmith.org/anagram

www.mbhs.edu/~bconnell/cgi-bin/anagram.cgi

www.crossword-dictionary.com/anagram.asp

www.crosswordtools.com/anagram-generator

I hope these help.
