Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2322 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 2322 of Crossword Challenge gives you 31 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
9 of the 31 answers are one or two letters long. 3 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 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 “Auditors”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 2322: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Of this world”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Auditors”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
