In Decrypto, can the word clues given be direct homophones or pinyin initials?

In the party brain-burner "Decrypto": the encryptor must provide 3 clue words for the keywords corresponding to the code numbers. If my code keyword is "apple," can I give homophone words like "ping'an" or "pingguo," or directly say the pinyin initials "PG"?
