Crossword Challenge Puzzle 836 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 836 is an 8×10 board with 31 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Short answers dominate here: 13 of 31 fit in one or two squares. 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; 1 wants 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 “Remember again”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Outcomes”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Remember again”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
