Crossword Challenge Puzzle 1947 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 1947 of Crossword Challenge gives you 32 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 11 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; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 4 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Copy”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 1947: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Put in order, in a way”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Copy”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
