Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2337 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 32 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2337, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
11 of the 32 answers are one or two letters long. 5 clues are pictures; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 6 clues are fill-ins, and 4 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Involving forces”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Opposite of repaired”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Involving forces”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
