The structural clue
How the ladder gives itself away
HIDE → SIDE starts the chain with a change in position 1. From there, the changed positions run 1, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, which is a quick way to verify the order without relying on meaning alone.
- StepSolve the middle clues, then anchor SIDE beside HIDE because they differ at exactly one position.
- StepContinue through SIDE → SITE → SITS → SETS → SEES, checking spelling position by position rather than grouping words by topic.
- StepPlace SEEK at the other endpoint and use the shared endpoint clue to connect HIDE with SEEK.
