Cleverness is being smart and able to come up with good ideas or clever solutions.

When we talk about someone's cleverness, we often mean their ability to figure things out quickly and easily. For example, a person might say "Oh, you're so clever" when they see someone fix a tricky problem in a surprising way. Cleverness can also be related to creative thinking - like when someone comes up with an innovative idea that others hadn't thought of before. We might use the word to describe a talented artist or inventor who is able to bring new and interesting things into existence.
