“Guard” can mean protect or watch over, as well as a person or thing that provides protection. It may also refer to a prison guard, a defensive position, or something that shields a vulnerable area. Read this as a broad definition clue unless the grid supplies a more specific sense. Part of speech and crossings are especially important: a verb may be “watch,” “protect,” or “ward,” while a noun could be a “sentinel,” “keeper,” “shield,” or defensive feature; the answer length will narrow the 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.
