Crossword Challenge Puzzle 192 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 29 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 192, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 10 of 29 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures, and 2 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; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Book releaser”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Midway mark”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Book releaser”, read top to bottom.
