Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2067 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2067 is an 8×10 board with 32 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Short answers dominate here: 14 of 32 fit in one or two squares. 3 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 6 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 5 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 “Assigns roles”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 2067: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Kind of race”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Assigns roles”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
