Crossword Challenge Puzzle 211 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 211 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.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 5 clues are pictures, and 5 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 4 want just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Replica”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 211: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Titanic's nemesis”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Replica”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
