Crossword Challenge Puzzle 619 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 31 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 619, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 12 of them only one or two letters. 4 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 4 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 3 want just the first letter of a single word; 1 clue is a fill-in, and 1 of it needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Owned by”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 619: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Reason”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Owned by”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
