About Crossclimb #841
- Crossclimb #841 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: "Common step in origami"; "Enamored, with 'of'"; "Locate a lost item by searching"; "Top medal at the Olympics"; "'___ over matter' (mental focus can overcome physical obstacles)".
- The shortest, "Enamored, with 'of'", runs three words against nine 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.
