How to Solve Crossclimb #740

Start with the clue answers, then arrange them into a one-letter word ladder, and finally place the locked rows using the shared phrase clue.

  • Solve the five middle clues first: PACK, PIES, PICK, VIES, and PICS.
  • Reorder those answers so each neighboring word changes by exactly one letter.
  • Use the shared locked-row clue to identify the park-view phrase.
  • Place PARK on top and VIEW on the bottom to complete the ladder.
  • Check each transition from top to bottom to make sure only one letter changes each time.

The key move is noticing that the locked rows form a park-view phrase, which anchors the full ladder as PARK → PACK → PICK → PICS → PIES → VIES → VIEW.
