A humorous double definition: an “oil worker” may be an artist who works in oil paints, rather than someone employed in the petroleum industry. Read the question mark as signaling wordplay. The answer is likely a profession or person associated with oil painting; use the entry length and crossings to confirm the specific term.
In the clue "Oil worker?", the "?" suggests wordplay or an unexpected interpretation. Try reading the clue in more than one way: a word might have a second meaning, or the phrase might work as a pun. Look for an answer that fits this alternative reading, then check it against the answer length and any crossing letters
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.
