About Crossclimb #812
- Crossclimb #812 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 for baked goods"; "Embraces in one’s arms"; "It comes between Mon. and Wed"; "Neckwear items that are attached by making knots"; "Shades of color".
- The shortest, "Shades of color", runs three words against eight for the longest; short, direct clues 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.
