Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1591 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1591 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: 10 of 30 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; 4 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 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Mass selling”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “By which means”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Mass selling”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
