Crossword Challenge Puzzle 710 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 710, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 9 of them only one or two letters. 4 clues are pictures, and 3 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 5 clues want 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 the picture clue in the top row.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Not as large”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to the picture clue in the top row, read top to bottom.
