A candidate has to be a real headword with its own entry: inflected forms and grammatical terminology (genitive, nominative, preterite, …) never appear here.
Not one of these?
The match may be a different sense of “crafty”, or an inflected form rather than a headword. Look up the form directly — the entry page marks the grammatical case.
