Crossword Challenge Puzzle 755 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 755 of Crossword Challenge gives you 32 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
12 of the 32 answers are one or two letters long. 4 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; 4 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 “Part of essay”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 755: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Field for newton or einstein”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Part of essay”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
