Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1179 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1179 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Short answers dominate here: 10 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 4 want just the first letter of a single word. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Journeying”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1179: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “In that place”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Journeying”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
