I don’t currently have the needed tools available in this turn to fetch live crossword solutions. Based on the clue you provided, here’s a concise, self- contained approach to deciphering “I should be when small.” Direct answer guess
- The cryptic-style clue “I should be when small” commonly resolves to the word DOTTED in some crossword traditions, where “I should be” signals a definition related to a letter or small feature, and “when small” points to a form like “dotted” that is associated with small marks. However, crossword clues vary by puzzle, and exact wording can map to multiple possible answers such as TEENY, WEE, or TINY depending on length and crossing letters. If you can share the puzzle’s grid pattern or the number of letters, the precise answer can be confirmed.
If you’d like, I can help with:
- Verifying potential candidates (e.g., TEENY, WEE, TINY, PETITE) given a letter count.
- Explaining common cryptic clue patterns that map phrases like “I should be when small” to specific words.
- Providing a quick cross-check strategy: list possible 4–6 letter synonyms for “small,” then see which ones align with “I should be” as a definition or wordplay indicator in your grid.
Would you like to provide the number of letters or a few crossing letters from the puzzle? I can then pinpoint the exact solution.
