How to Solve Crossclimb #793

Start with the five open clues, then arrange those answers into a one-letter ladder before using the final phrase clue to unlock the ends.

  • The clue "Part of a bowling alley or swimming pool" leads to LANE. The clue "Give temporarily, as a tool or book, but expect to get back" leads to LEND. The clue "Heavy metal that alchemists tried to turn into gold" leads to LEAD. The clue "___ wolf (an independent, self-reliant individual)" leads to LONE. The clue "Secure, as a job interview" leads to LAND.
  • Next, sort those five answers into a working middle ladder: LEAD, LEND, LAND, LANE, LONE. Each step changes just one letter, which makes this the correct middle order.
  • The clue "The top + bottom rows = A two-word phrase for an area of very poor or no mobile phone signal. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom." points to the phrase dead zone. The top locked word is DEAD because it fits above LEAD with a one-letter change, and the bottom locked word is ZONE because it fits below LONE with a one-letter change.
  • Now place the locked words around the middle ladder to get the full path: DEAD, LEAD, LEND, LAND, LANE, LONE, ZONE.
  • The completed ladder is valid because every neighboring pair differs by exactly one letter from start to finish.

Final path: DEAD → LEAD → LEND → LAND → LANE → LONE → ZONE.

Clue-by-Clue Analysis

Here’s how each clue points to its answer and how the locked phrase completes the ladder.

Crossclimb #793 Clue 1: Part of a bowling alley or swimming pool

Part of a bowling alley or swimming pool - LANE
A lane is the long section used in bowling, and it is also the marked strip assigned to a swimmer in a pool. The clue works because the same everyday word fits both settings.

Crossclimb #793 Clue 2: Give temporarily, as a tool or book, but expect to get back

Give temporarily, as a tool or book, but expect to get back - LEND
To lend something is to give it to another person for temporary use with the expectation that it will be returned. That matches the clue exactly.

Crossclimb #793 Clue 3: Heavy metal that alchemists tried to turn into gold

Heavy metal that alchemists tried to turn into gold - LEAD
Lead is the classic base metal associated with alchemy and the dream of turning ordinary metals into gold. It is a standard answer for this kind of clue.

Crossclimb #793 Clue 4: ___ wolf (an independent, self-reliant individual)

___ wolf (an independent, self-reliant individual) - LONE
The phrase is "lone wolf," meaning someone who acts independently and keeps to themself. That makes LONE the only natural fit.

Crossclimb #793 Clue 5: Secure, as a job interview

Secure, as a job interview - LAND
To land something means to get or obtain it successfully, as in landing an interview or landing a job. The clue uses that common verb sense.

Crossclimb #793 Clue 6: The top + bottom rows = A two-word phrase for an area of very poor or no mobile phone signal. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom.

The top + bottom rows = A two-word phrase for an area of very poor or no mobile phone signal. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom. - DEAD + ZONE
The phrase is "dead zone," a common term for an area with little or no mobile signal. Testing the two words against the middle ladder shows that DEAD fits above LEAD and ZONE fits below LONE, giving valid one-letter links on both ends.
