How to Solve Crossclimb #735

Solve LinkedIn Crossclimb 735 in stages so the ladder becomes obvious instead of forcing the whole grid at once.

  • Solve the five middle clues first: GOLD, TOLL, TILE, TOLD, and TILL.
  • Notice that all five answers are four letters long and can be rearranged into a one-letter word ladder.
  • Build the middle chain by matching words that differ by exactly one letter: GOLD -> TOLD -> TOLL -> TILL -> TILE.
  • Use the shared locked-row clue to identify the phrase GOOD TIME, then place GOOD as the top locked word and TIME as the bottom locked word.
  • Check the full ladder from top to bottom and confirm that every neighboring pair changes by just one letter.

The key move is recognizing that the lock clue is a phrase clue, not a separate standalone answer.
