Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1460 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 32 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1460, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 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 “Able to learn”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “From that cause”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Able to learn”, read top to bottom.
