Crossword Challenge Puzzle 927 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 927 is an 8×10 board with 32 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 15 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 5 want 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 “Tiny bits”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Audio show”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Tiny bits”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
