How to Solve Crossclimb #818

  • The first five clues lead to straightforward four-letter answers. The clue 'Edible holder for ice cream' leads to CONE. The clue 'Piece of metal currency that may be flipped' leads to COIN. The clue 'Part of an apple that contains its seeds' leads to CORE. The clue '“A friend to all is a friend to ___” (Aristotle)' leads to NONE. The clue 'Cereal crop that might appear at breakfast in “flake” form' leads to CORN.
  • Next, sort those five answers into a one-letter ladder: NONE, CONE, CORE, CORN, COIN. NONE changes to CONE by one letter, CONE changes to CORE by one letter, CORE changes to CORN by one letter, and CORN changes to COIN by one letter.
  • The final clue 'The top + bottom rows = Two parts of the face.' gives the locked words. The top word is NOSE, and the bottom word is CHIN.
  • Put everything together as NOSE, NONE, CONE, CORE, CORN, COIN, CHIN.
  • This full path works because each neighboring word changes by exactly one letter all the way from top to bottom.

Final path: NOSE → NONE → CONE → CORE → CORN → COIN → CHIN.
