Crossword Challenge Puzzle 37 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 37 is an 8×10 board with 29 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
10 of the 29 answers are one or two letters long. 5 clues are pictures, and 2 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; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Not the same”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 37: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to the picture clue in the left column. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Not the same”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
