Crossword Challenge Puzzle 94 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 29 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 94, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
Short answers dominate here: 9 of 29 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; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 3 clues are fill-ins, and 3 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to the picture clue in the top row.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Url opener”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to the picture clue in the top row, read top to bottom.
