Answers

Crossword Master Puzzle 1,289 sits in Puzzles 1201-1300 and holds 17 clues, the longest answer being SWEETLY at 7 letters. That is a substantial board, enough that checking off what you already have is faster than re-reading the whole list.

This is a clue game, so the useful thing on this page is the clue text itself. If you are stuck on one line, find that exact wording in the table below rather than reading a bare list of answers — clues identify a puzzle far more reliably than answers do, because answers repeat across a game and clues rarely do.

8 of the 17 answers run to three letters or fewer, which is where levels like this are usually lost. The long answers go in quickly; it is the short ones filling the gaps between them that get missed, because they are easy to read straight past.

This puzzle sits in the 1,201–1,300 block, with puzzle 1,288 and puzzle 1,290 linked at the foot of the page.
