Crossword Challenge Puzzle 768 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 768, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 8 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 4 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; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “School/army clinic”.
Start at the edges. The first letters of the 7 answers hanging from the top row spell the answer to “Create in mind”, and the first letters of the 9 answers along the left edge spell the answer to “School/army clinic”. Solve one of those two and every edge clue starts with a known letter.
