“Hinder” is a verb meaning to obstruct, impede, delay, or prevent progress. It can also suggest blocking or interfering with someone’s efforts. Read this as a straightforward definition clue, with likely answers such as a synonym for “impede” or “obstruct.” Use the entry length and crossing letters to distinguish among verbs, since the clue does not indicate a special tense, abbreviation, or wordplay.
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.
