    Perfect &lits are hard to create.
    • 2006, Nikki Katz, Zen and the Art of Crossword Puzzles: A Journey Down and Across, page 63:
      &Lit: This word play means "and take it literally." In these clues, the word play and literal definition are one and the same. &Lit clues are marked with an exclamation point at the end.
