Crossword Challenge Puzzle 566 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 566 of Crossword Challenge gives you 32 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
10 of the 32 answers are one or two letters long. 4 clues are pictures, and 3 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; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 3 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Supplies”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Emotional insight”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Supplies”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
