Crossword Challenge Puzzle 49 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 49? All 30 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
Short answers dominate here: 10 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Role in story”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Funny anima-tion”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Role in story”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
