Crossword Challenge Puzzle 2667 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 2667 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.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 11 of them only one or two letters. 6 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Controlled”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Short break”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Controlled”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
