Crossword Challenge Puzzle 64 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 64 of Crossword Challenge gives you 30 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
8 of the 30 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 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 “Joyful state”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 64: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Corridor spot”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Joyful state”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
