Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1111 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1111 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 3 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 5 clues are fill-ins, and 4 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Worthy of respect”.
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 “Worthy of respect”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
