Crossword Challenge Puzzle 666 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 32 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 666, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
11 of the 32 answers are one or two letters long. 5 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 4 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 “Toy”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 666: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Market offering”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Toy”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
