Crossword Challenge Puzzle 607 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 607 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 4 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 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 “Altar offering”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Non-religious”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Altar offering”, read top to bottom.
