Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2549 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 2549 of Crossword Challenge gives you 32 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 32 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; 5 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 4 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Total amount”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Move up”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Total amount”, read top to bottom.
