  • Answer the five middle clues: DOVES, LOVER, COVER, COVES, and LOWER.
  • Reorder those answers so each neighboring word changes by exactly one letter.
  • Use the shared unlock clue to identify the top and bottom rows as POWER and DIVES.
  • Check the full chain from top to bottom to confirm every transition changes only one letter.

The key move is recognizing that the middle answers form a complete one-letter ladder once sorted, and the airshow clue adds the locked words at both ends.
