Crossword Challenge Puzzle 832 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 29 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 832, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 10 of them only one or two letters. 2 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 4 clues want only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 1 clue is a fill-in. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Providing aid”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 832: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Masters of craft”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Providing aid”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
