Puzzle 920 of Crossword Challenge gives you 30 clues on a 8×10 board. Each one is listed below with a hint first and the answer second.
8 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 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; 1 wants just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Not exclusive”.
Here is the shortcut for Puzzle 920: read the first letters of the top-row answers and you get the answer to “Hawaii and fiji”. Read the first letters down the left edge and you get the answer to “Not exclusive”. One of those two words unlocks the first letter of 15 others.
