Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1470 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1470 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 8 of them only one or two letters. 3 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 3 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “In another way”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1470: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Vision-related”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “In another way”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
