Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2474 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2474? All 32 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
12 of the 32 answers are one or two letters long. 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; 5 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Act of including”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Book lists”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Act of including”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
