I believe the answer is:

acrostic

(Other definitions for acrostic that I've seen before include "a little puzzling" , "problem" , "Word puzzle using initials of lines of poetry" , "Initial letter puzzle" , "Puzzle involving leading characters" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
