    Note

    One spelling does two grammatical jobs. After a form of be it builds the progressive (she was cluing him in), and on its own it works as a noun (cluing the team in took an hour). It usually travels with a particle, in or up, and the person being informed normally sits between the verb and the particle: cluing someone in, cluing someone up.

    Thanks for cluing me in before the meeting started.

    She spent the first week cluing the new hires up on how the office really worked.
