Crossword Challenge Puzzle 924 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 924, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Expect plenty of tiny answers, 9 of them only one or two letters. 5 clues are pictures, and 2 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; 4 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Rate of events”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Query”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Rate of events”, read top to bottom.
