Refined is a common crossword clue with several possible answers depending on length. Here are the most typical solutions by letter count:

  • 4 letters: PURE
  • 5 letters: CIVIL, CLEAN, TASTE (though TASTE is more a partial match), GENT
  • 6 letters: POLITE, URBANE, ELIGRE? (more commonly URBANE and POLITE)
  • 7 letters: ELEGANT, GENTEEL, NUANCED
  • 8 letters: POLISHED, TASTEFUL
  • 9 letters: AESTHETIC, DISTILLED
  • 10 letters: CULTIVATED
  • 11+ letters: CHARACTERIZED phrases exist, but are puzzle-dependent

If you can share the exact puzzle length (and any crossing letters you have), the most precise answer can be pinpointed. If you’re solving a specific clue from a recent puzzle (e.g., Guardian Quick, NYT, or another outlet) and your grid indicates a certain length, I can narrow it to the best-fit option.
