Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1908 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1908 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
9 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 4 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 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 the picture clue in the top row.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1908: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Definition”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to the picture clue in the top row. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
