Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1756 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1756 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. 4 clues are pictures, and 4 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 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 “Valuation”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1756: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Mist in a can”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Valuation”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
