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