Caveat emptor: many of the entries in this list would be considered unsound in some puzzles (some of these unsound indicators are marked with a +). Entries marked * are used mostly in advanced cryptics. I would welcome corrections and additions to the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- a Austria a I a academician a accepted a ace a acre a active a adult a
