About Crossclimb #840
- Crossclimb #840 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: "Animal that symbolizes a rising stock market"; "It may become a law"; "Opposite of 'won't'"; "Source of drinking water"; "Stuffed".
- The shortest, "Stuffed", runs one word against seven 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.
