Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1784 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1784 of Crossword Challenge gives you 34 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
15 of the 34 answers are one or two letters long. 3 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; 5 want just the first letter of a single word; 10 clues are fill-ins, and 9 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Political shifts”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1784: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to the picture clue in the left column. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Political shifts”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
