If a large language model can solve >90% of clues from Financial Times cryptic crosswords then yes otherwise no. Crossword layout as context is allowed.
Here's an example FT crossword:
For example, 2 down is "Giant pig, including tail, served up (7)". Pig is "hog", put tail inside to get "htailog" then reverse it to get "goliath".
