Crossword Challenge Puzzle 910 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 910, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
9 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 2 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks 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; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Aquatic farms”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Decorate home”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Aquatic farms”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
