Crossword Challenge Puzzle 575 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 575 of Crossword Challenge gives you 32 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
14 of the 32 answers are one or two letters long. 5 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 6 want just the first letter of a single word; 1 clue is a fill-in, and 1 of it needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Wide view”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 575: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to the picture clue in the left column. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Wide view”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
