Anagram Clues
Anagram clues work through an indicator such as crazy
or confused
or moving
and the fodder; the letters to be anagrammed. It’s convention held by I believe every cryptic constructor that anagrams are always direct, that is, you’re never anagramming the synonym of a word in a clue – you’re anagramming the letters in the clue directly.
