Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2400 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2400, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 7 clues are fill-ins, and 5 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Single key press”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Related”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Single key press”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
