“Cross” can mean angry or irritable, as well as contrary, opposing, or intersecting. It can also be a noun for a burden or grievance, or refer to the Christian symbol or a gibbet. Read this as a broad, highly ambiguous clue: the answer’s part of speech and length are essential. Crossings may distinguish an adjective such as “angry” or “contrary,” a noun meaning “burden” or “grievance,” or a word referring to a religious cross or execution structure.
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.
