Crossclimb tips for tomorrow

  • Solve the easy clues first. Even two or three confirmed words show you what letters the ladder changes, which makes the harder clues easier.
  • Find the chain, not the order. Pair up words that differ by one letter. The ladder usually has only one valid sequence.
  • The ends share a theme. The top and bottom words are linked by one clue, often a pair like JACK and KING or BEEF and PORK.
