Crossword Challenge Puzzle 610 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 610? All 30 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
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; 3 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 “Edifices”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Sheets and blankets”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Edifices”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
