Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1935 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1935? All 30 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures, and 4 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 1 clue is a fill-in, and 1 of it needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Self-operating machine”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1935: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Praise”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Self-operating machine”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
