Stump Your Brain: Can You Solve This Lexicographer’s Compliment?

When presented with the crossword clue ‘Compliment for a lexicographer?’, my first step was to analyze the key words in the clue. ‘Compliment‘ suggests that the answer must be a positive word or phrase. ‘Lexicographer‘ hints at the fact that we must think of words in the realm of vocabulary or language. I began to think of words that would fit these criteria and the first word that came to mind was ‘nice‘. However, I needed another word to complete the crossword. That’s when I thought of the word ‘meaning‘ as a possible candidate. Putting the two words together, I arrived at ‘nicemeaning‘ and realized that it fit the clue perfectly. A lexicographer is someone who deals with words and their meanings, and ‘nicemeaning‘ could be seen as a compliment to a lexicographer in terms of their ability to choose the right words and give them positive connotations.
