Crossword Challenge Puzzle 766 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 766 is an 8×10 board with 31 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 9 of them only one or two letters. 3 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 5 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 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Work-shop furniture”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 766: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Saturday and sunday”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Work-shop furniture”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
