How to Solve Crossclimb #814

Start by solving the five standard clues, then arrange them into a one-letter ladder and use the idiom clue to unlock the top and bottom words.

  • The clue 'Money that’s borrowed from a bank' leads to LOAN. The clue 'Wailing sound, perhaps heard from a ghost in a horror movie' leads to MOAN. The clue 'Common amount of bread to purchase' leads to LOAF. The clue 'Struggling to decide between two choices' leads to TORN. The clue 'Start of the day, poetically' leads to MORN.
  • Next, sort those five answers into the only smooth middle ladder: TORN, MORN, MOAN, LOAN, LOAF. Each move changes one letter: TORN to MORN changes the first letter, MORN to MOAN changes the third, MOAN to LOAN changes the first, and LOAN to LOAF changes the last.
  • The clue 'The top + bottom rows = Two words that complete the idiom “___ over a new ___,” meaning to make a fresh start. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom.' gives the pair from the idiom 'turn over a new leaf.' That makes the top locked word TURN and the bottom locked word LEAF.
  • Now place the locked words around the middle ladder to get the complete path: TURN, TORN, MORN, MOAN, LOAN, LOAF, LEAF.
  • The full ladder works because every neighboring pair differs by exactly one letter, from TURN all the way down to LEAF.

Final path: TURN → TORN → MORN → MOAN → LOAN → LOAF → LEAF.

Here’s a quick breakdown of why each answer fits and how the locked rows complete the final ladder.

Crossclimb #814 Clue 1: Money that’s borrowed from a bank

Money that’s borrowed from a bank - LOAN
A LOAN is money provided by a bank or lender with the expectation that it will be repaid. It is the standard financial term for borrowed money.

Crossclimb #814 Clue 2: Wailing sound, perhaps heard from a ghost in a horror movie

Wailing sound, perhaps heard from a ghost in a horror movie - MOAN
A MOAN is a low, drawn-out sound of pain, sadness, or eeriness. That makes it a natural fit for a ghostly wail in a horror setting.

Common amount of bread to purchase - LOAF
Bread is commonly sold as a LOAF rather than as a single slice. The clue points to the usual full unit you would buy at a store or bakery.

The idiom is 'turn over a new leaf,' which means to make a fresh start. That gives TURN and LEAF as the locked words, and the ladder confirms TURN belongs at the top while LEAF belongs at the bottom.
