Crossword Challenge Puzzle 792 Clues and Answers
Crossword Challenge Puzzle 792 is an 8×10 board with 30 clues, and every one of them is answered below.
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; 3 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 6 clues are fill-ins, and 4 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Artworks on canvas”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 792: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Maybe”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Artworks on canvas”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
