“Formidable” can mean difficult or demanding to deal with, or inspiring fear and respect because of great strength, power, or ability. It may therefore describe a challenging task or an intimidating opponent. Read this as a straightforward adjective clue, with the intended synonym determined by the entry length and crossing letters. Depending on context, favor the sense of “demanding” or the stronger “menacing/powerful” sense.
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.
