Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1595 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1595 of Crossword Challenge gives you 30 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 6 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 1 clue is a fill-in, and 1 of it needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Confined area”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Extent units”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Confined area”, read top to bottom.
