Crossword Challenge Puzzle 476 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 476 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 9 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 4 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Thankful feeling”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 476: 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 “Thankful feeling”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
