Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1475 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 31 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1475, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
10 of the 31 answers are one or two letters long. 5 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; 2 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 “Oxygen intake”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1475: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to the picture clue in the left column. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Oxygen intake”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
