Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2619 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2619? All 34 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 14 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 6 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 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 the picture clue in the top row.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to the picture clue in the left column, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to the picture clue in the top row. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
