This is a word for word copy of the A-Z Challenges List from the game.
Contact me at nicjitsu2099@gmail.com for corrections.
While looking online for a list of challenges I found this forum post:

If you would like a guide on how to complete these challenges,
I suggest you go there. FightingGamerz has made a good challenge guide,
but I was looking for a list of in-game requirements and additional rewards.
I didn’t find one so I made my own.
Feel free to use this list wherever as long as you give credit.
