Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1752 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1752 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.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 9 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; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 1 wants 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 the picture clue in the top row.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Social gaffe”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to the picture clue in the top row. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
