Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1464 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1464? All 32 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
10 of the 32 answers are one or two letters long. 4 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; 1 wants just the first letter of a single word; 8 clues are fill-ins, and 4 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Landholder”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Going away”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Landholder”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
