About Crossclimb #818
- Crossclimb #818 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: "Cereal crop that might appear at breakfast in 'flake' form"; "Edible holder for ice cream"; "Part of an apple that contains its seeds"; "Piece of metal currency that may be flipped"; "'A friend to all is a friend to ___' (Aristotle)".
- The shortest, "Edible holder for ice cream", runs five words against ten for the longest.
- One is a fill-in-the-blank, 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.
