Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2205 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2205 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
9 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 3 clues are pictures, and 3 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; 1 wants just the first letter of a single word; 3 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Produces results”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Jealous”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Produces results”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
