Crossword Challenge Puzzle 759 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 759 of Crossword Challenge gives you 30 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
Short answers dominate here: 10 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 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; 3 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 “Growth process”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 759: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Results”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Growth process”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
