Crossword Challenge Puzzle 942 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 29 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 942, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 29 fit in one or two squares. 5 clues are pictures, and 2 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; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 1 clue is a fill-in. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Room decor”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Justify”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Room decor”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
