Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1923 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1923 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.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 9 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 5 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; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Immediately”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Creating images”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Immediately”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
