Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1519 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 29 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1519, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 8 of 29 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 1 wants just the first letter of a single word; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Relating to childbirth”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1519: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Make more than happy”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Relating to childbirth”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
