Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2347 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2347 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. 4 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 5 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 1 clue is a fill-in. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Bogotá native”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to the picture clue in the left column, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Bogotá native”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
