The clue 'Country street' leads to LANE. The clue 'Place a plane back on the ground' leads to LAND. The clue 'Tie tightly' leads to BIND.
  • Next sort those answers into the middle ladder as FIND, BIND, BAND, LAND, LANE. Each step changes just one letter: FIND to BIND, BIND to BAND, BAND to LAND, and LAND to LANE.
  • Then use the final clue 'The top + bottom rows = Two words for Scandinavians.' The top locked word is FINN, meaning a person from Finland, and the bottom locked word is DANE, meaning a person from Denmark.
  • Now place the locked words around the middle ladder to get the complete sequence: FINN, FIND, BIND, BAND, LAND, LANE, DANE.
