=== Charade === In a ''charade'' or ''Ikea clue'', the answer is formed by joining individually clued words to make a larger word.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=GAMES–World of Puzzles |date=January 2022 |issn=1074-4355 |volume=46 |number=1 |last=Parr |first=Andrew|title=Cryptic Classroom #4: Charades |page=33}}</ref> For example: :''Outlaw leader managing money (7)'' The answer is {{sc2|BANKING}}, formed by {{sc2|BAN}} for "outlaw" and {{sc2|KING}} for "leader". The definition is "managing money". With this example, the words appear in the same order in the clue as they do in the answer, and no special words are needed to indicate this. However, the order of the parts is sometimes indicated with words such as ''against'', ''after'', ''on'', ''with'' or ''above'' (in a down clue).
