Crossword Challenge Puzzle 32 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 32 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
10 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 4 clues are pictures; 4 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, and 1 of it needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to the picture clue in the top row.
