Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2410 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2410 is an 8×10 board with 29 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 4 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; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Extends”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Biased”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Extends”, read top to bottom.
