Crossword Challenge Puzzle 370 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 370 is an 8×10 board with 31 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Short answers dominate here: 11 of 31 fit in one or two squares. 5 clues are pictures; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 3 clues are fill-ins. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Kangaroo's home”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 370: 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 “Kangaroo's home”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
