means it's part of a clue. in this case it's 6 above's clue which is "Approximate shape of this puzzle's white squares... and a synonym of the circled letters"

Oh ok thanks. When I did this puzzle I finished it before the vertical clues so I never saw that I guess.

No problem. If you want another tip: when a clue ends in a question mark, perhaps, or maybe it means that the answer or clue is a pun.

I play the Sunday as a group and my God. Crosswords have some of the most bullshit rules.

You can put multiple letters on a single square? Reebus. You can also have an answer that's a whole phrase instead of a word.
