Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1060 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1060 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
8 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 3 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 4 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 7 clues are fill-ins, and 4 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Any random object”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Smoke messages”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Any random object”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
