For a crossword, “raspberry” almost always points to a word meaning a derisive noise or jeer, unless the puzzle is clearly about fruit.

Most common answers

When the clue is just “Raspberry” , typical answers include:

  • BOO (3)
  • JEER (4)
  • TART (4) – when “raspberry” is meant as a dessert or flavor
  • CATCALL (7)
  • BRONXCHEER (10) – classic crossword answer for the derisive “raspberry” sound

When it appears as “Raspberry ___”

You’ll also see it in partial phrases:

  • PFFT / RAZZ / JEER / TART for “Raspberry ___” (4)
  • BRONX CHEER for “Raspberry, since the 1920s” or “Show of disrespect” (5,5)

If the clue is about the actual fruit

If the surface clearly points to the berry itself or a botany context, answers can be:

  • RUBY (red color of a raspberry)
  • Variety-type or related berries like BLACKCAP , CLOUDBERRY , SALMONBERRY , THIMBLEBERRY , etc., in more specialized puzzles

If you share the exact clue and letter count/known letters (e.g., “Raspberry (10), pattern: R_O_X_C_E_E ”), the answer can be narrowed down precisely.
