Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1034 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1034 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.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 12 of them only one or two letters. 5 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; 5 want just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Verified as true”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1034: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to the picture clue in the left column. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Verified as true”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
