Crossword Challenge Puzzle 46 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 46, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
9 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 4 clues are pictures; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 2 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Peter parker”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 46: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Digestive organ”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Peter parker”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
