Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1835 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1835? All 32 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 4 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want 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 “Birth parents”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Social mask”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Birth parents”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
