Crossword Challenge Puzzle 346 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 346 is an 8×10 board with 29 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to the picture clue in the top row.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to the picture clue in the left column, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to the picture clue in the top row, read top to bottom.
