Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1219 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1219 is an 8×10 board with 32 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 11 of them only one or two letters. 3 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 4 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 5 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 “Asked to get answers”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Silently”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Asked to get answers”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
