As a grindable option, it doesn't work out unless you're using the University/Flit exploit. If you are getting Cryptic Clues from relatively high value opportunity cards, however, then it becomes a good source of echoes. For instance, if you use Riding Your Velocipede 3 times and cash in the Cryptic Clues for diamonds, you earn ~1.71 epa, assuming a 1% chance of getting a rare success. Getting your Clues from The Neath's Mysteries or The Mechanics of Progress with high Watchful is even better.

In other words, spending Cryptic Clues from actions you would do anyway on bags of diamonds is better than selling them to the Bazaar, but don't go out of your way to grind Clues just for this option (unless the University/Flit exploit is still open to you, in which case, go hog wild).
