Crossword Challenge Puzzle 706 Clues and Answers
Stuck somewhere in Crossword Challenge Puzzle 706? All 30 clues on this 8×10 grid are solved below, one card per clue.
8 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 3 clues are pictures, and 3 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. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Clearly apparent”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Perform surgery”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “Clearly apparent”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
