The structural clue
How the ladder gives itself away
FIND is the central hinge: MIND can sit before it by changing the first letter, while FOND follows by changing the second. FOND → FOLD → GOLD then creates a compact _OLD cluster before GOLD → GOLF changes the final letter. That leaves MINI → MIND as the only legal attachment at the other end.
- StepSolve the five middle clues as MIND, FIND, FOND, FOLD, and GOLD. MIND → FIND → FOND immediately produces two legal one-letter moves.
- StepContinue through FOND → FOLD → GOLD, first changing the third position and then the opening letter. GOLD has only one clean route to the remaining endpoint, GOLF.
- StepAttach MINI above MIND by changing the final letter. The endpoints now read MINI GOLF, the downscaled putting game described by the shared clue.
