Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2330 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2330, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 8 of 30 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; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 5 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Camera lens”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Visitor abroad”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Camera lens”, read top to bottom.
