“Archaic” can mean very old-fashioned or no longer in common use, especially of a word, custom, or style. It can also refer more broadly to something belonging to an ancient period. Read this primarily as a straightforward adjective clue for an old or obsolete thing. Because several synonyms fit, use the entry length and crossing letters to choose among forms meaning “old-fashioned,” “obsolete,” or “ancient.”
In this specific clue "archaic", "archaic" points to an older term or a former name for what is described. Think beyond the wording commonly used today and consider expressions or names used in the past. The clue's context may help you identify the relevant period, while the answer length and crossing letters can help confirm your choice.
Small details in the wording can help you figure out what form the answer should take. Look for these three signals:
A past-tense clue usually calls for a past-tense answer: "Moved quickly" could be SPED, while "Moves quickly" could be SPEEDS. Match the tense, even when the answer uses an irregular form rather than ending in -ED.
A noun usually calls for a noun, a verb for a verb, and an adjective for an adjective. For example, "Happiness" could be JOY, "Make happy" could be PLEASE, and "Happy" could be GLAD. Read the whole phrase! Some words can function as more than one part of speech.
A singular clue usually needs a singular answer, while a plural clue usually needs a plural answer. "Child" could be TOT; "Children" could be TOTS. Remember that not every plural ends in -S: "Male adults" could be MEN, and words like SHEEP can be singular or plural.
We found 57 possible answers for the crossword clue "archaic", ranging from 3 to 13 letters. Possible answers include OBSOLETE (8 letters), ETH (3 letters) and ERST (4 letters).
