Crossword Challenge Puzzle 613 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 613? All 32 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
Short answers dominate here: 12 of 32 fit in one or two squares. 4 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; 4 want just the first letter of a single word; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Process”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 613: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Symbol: %”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Process”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
