Crossword Challenge Puzzle 134 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 134 is an 8×10 board with 29 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 3 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; 2 want just the first letter of a single word. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Travel system”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Small hunting dog”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Travel system”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
