sentences:  Ximenean rules are very precise in terms of grammar and syntax, especially as regards the indicators used for various methods of wordplay.Libertarian setters may use devices which "more or less" get the message across.For example, when treating the answer BEER the setter may decide to split the word into BEE and R and, after finding suitable ways to define the answer and BEE, now looks to give the solver a clue to the letter R. Ximenean rules would not allow something like "reach first" to indicate that R is the first letter of "reach" because, grammatically, that is not what "reach first" implies.
