Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1375 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1375 of Crossword Challenge gives you 30 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 3 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 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 “Not here or there”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Teaching facilities”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Not here or there”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
