Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1167 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1167 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 9 of them only one or two letters. 4 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 4 want just the first letter of a single word; 3 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Clearly”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Tire out”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Clearly”, read top to bottom.
