Crossword Challenge Puzzle 735 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 735, 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. 5 clues are pictures, and 2 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; 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 “Say again”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Fix-up”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Say again”, read top to bottom.
