About Crossclimb #844
- Crossclimb #844 is a ladder of 7 5-letter words, each one letter away from the next.
- Listed alphabetically rather than in ladder order, the five middle clues are: "Frightening moment"; "Like some testimony and enemies"; "Open disrespect"; "Pass along to your followers, as a social media post"; "Total of how many goals each team has".
- The shortest, "Frightening moment", runs two words against ten 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.
