Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1182 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 31 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1182, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
9 of the 31 answers are one or two letters long. 5 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; 6 clues are fill-ins, and 5 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “In round figures”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Bringing in”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “In round figures”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
