How this collection was built
Each pair in this collection appears in both the xd crossword corpus and the Berkeley CrosswordQA corpus, so nothing here rests on a single source. Every pair is also the dominant answer for its clue in xd, used at least three times, in at least two distinct years, and at least once in 2010 or later.
Frequency and last-seen figures on these pages come from xd only. The Berkeley corpus is used purely as an existence check: it confirms a pairing is real, and its counts are never shown as usage figures.
This collection is not the whole crossword universe. A clue or answer missing here may still be perfectly real; it simply has not passed these checks yet.
