Crossword Challenge Puzzle 750 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 750 of Crossword Challenge gives you 30 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
10 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 4 clues are pictures, and 4 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; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Very drunk”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 750: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Mom and dad”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Very drunk”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
