Crossword Challenge Puzzle 824 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 824, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 30 fit in one or two squares. 3 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 3 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 “Mass selling”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “War hero”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Mass selling”, read top to bottom.
