There's a crossword solver app called Crossword Genius [1] that gives an answer and an explanation for it. I tried it a while back when you could use it free online and it was very good, but now they appear to have made it app only.
It claims to be AI based, though you can provide feedback when it gets it wrong and there aren't many cryptic crosswords in the world, so I don't know to what extent it's solving with clever algorithms vs just echoing back human solutions.
