Crossword Challenge Puzzle 6 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 6 is a 7×9 board with 25 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures; 2 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 1 wants just the first letter of a single word; 3 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 8 letters and belongs to “Union of partners”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 6: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Female parent”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Union of partners”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 13 others.
