Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1922 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1922 is an 8×10 board with 32 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 14 of them only one or two letters. 4 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 7 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 5 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to the picture clue in the top row.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Was alive”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to the picture clue in the top row, read top to bottom.
