About Crossclimb #822
- Crossclimb #822 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: "Body parts attached to the shoulders"; "Classical element alongside earth, air, and water"; "Evergreen trees known for needle-like leaves"; "Goals and objectives"; "States publicly, as grievances".
- The shortest, "Goals and objectives", runs three words against seven for the longest.
- One adds 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.
