About Crossclimb #833
- Crossclimb #833 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: "Diminutive name for 'Catherine' used by the Princess of Wales (___ Middleton)"; "Entryway in a fence"; "Showed up, as to a party"; "Toy on a string that’s brought out on a windy day"; "Word after 'word,' 'board,' or 'video'".
- The shortest, "Entryway in a fence", runs 4 words against 12 for the longest.
- One is a fill-in-the-blank and 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.
