What is synonym clues?

Synonym clues are a type of clue used in word puzzles, such as crosswords, where the definition of a word is given in the form of a synonym.

Here's how it works:

* The clue provides a word that means the same or nearly the same as the answer.

* The solver needs to identify the word that is being described by the synonym.

Example:

In this example, "joyful" is the synonym clue. The answer, "happy," is a word that means the same thing as "joyful."
