| ### Dataset Summary | |
| Current NLP datasets targeting ambiguity can be solved by a native speaker with relative ease. We present Cryptonite, a large-scale dataset based on cryptic crosswords, which is both linguistically complex and naturally sourced. Each example in Cryptonite is a cryptic clue, a short phrase or sentence with a misleading surface reading, whose solving requires disambiguating semantic, syntactic, and phonetic wordplays, as well as world knowledge. Cryptic clues pose a challenge even for experienced solvers, though top-tier experts can solve them with almost 100% accuracy. Cryptonite is a challenging task for current models; fine-tuning T5-Large on 470k cryptic clues achieves only 7.6% accuracy, on par with the accuracy of a rule-based clue solver (8.6%). | |

| ## Dataset Structure | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| This is one example from the train set. | |
| ```python | |
| { | |
| 'clue': 'make progress socially in stated region (5)', | |
| 'answer': 'climb', | |
| 'date': 971654400000, | |
| 'enumeration': '(5)', | |
| 'id': 'Times-31523-6across', | |
| 'publisher': 'Times', | |
| 'quick': False | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| - `clue`: a string representing the clue provided for the crossword | |
| - `answer`: a string representing the answer to the clue | |
| - `enumeration`: a string representing the | |
| - `publisher`: a string representing the publisher of the crossword | |
| - `date`: a int64 representing the UNIX timestamp of the date of publication of the crossword | |
| - `quick`: a bool representing whether the crossword is quick (a crossword aimed at beginners, easier to solve) | |
| - `id`: a string to uniquely identify a given example in the dataset | |
| ### Data Splits | |
| Train (470,804 examples), validation (26,156 examples), test (26,157 examples). | |
