About Crossclimb #811
- Crossclimb #811 is a ladder of 7 4-letter words, each one letter away from the next.
- Listed alphabetically rather than in ladder order, the five middle clues are: "Containers, as for recycling or dirty laundry"; "Declares to be illegal"; "Financial institution where checks can be deposited"; "Makes a wager in a casino"; "Tiny pieces, or 0s and 1s in computing".
- The shortest, "Declares to be illegal", runs four words against eight for the longest.
- Two add a qualifier after a comma, and clues like that are usually the fastest to pin down.
- Settle the middle five before touching the top and bottom rungs: those two share one combined clue that opens only once the middle is in ladder order.
