About Crossclimb #864
- Crossclimb #864 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: "Cut sections of tree trunks that may be used as firewood"; "Graphic design used to represent a company"; "Puts down on paper quickly"; "Runs at a relaxed pace"; "Vehicles like 747’s and 767’s".
- The shortest, "Puts down on paper quickly", runs 5 words against 11 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.
