Crossword Challenge Puzzle 664 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 664 of Crossword Challenge gives you 29 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
8 of the 29 answers are one or two letters long. 3 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 1 wants just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Small weight unit”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 664: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to the picture clue in the left column. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Small weight unit”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
