Crossword Challenge Puzzle 823 Clues and Answers
Puzzle 823 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.
Short answers dominate here: 11 of 32 fit in one or two squares. 3 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. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Pers-pective”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to the picture clue in the left column, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Pers-pective”, read top to bottom.
