“Indic8ed” Crossnumber Word Ladder

· By The Noah · Published 2024-08-01T15:24:41.407Z

Constructor's Note
Each step down the ladder 1 CELL changes. Each cell may have a letter, a number (representing a syllable like SK8=Skate), a number, or two letters entered with the rebus tool. I subtly indicated the word lengths, which 1s contain numbers, and which cells change. Good luck!

    Nice, the clues with the length/change hints work really well!

      The innovations keep coming! This was fun, thank you! I had some issues with 6A — either my parsing or the enumeration doesn't seem to work.

        Atonic is (6) meaning an unaccented syllable. A tonic is (1,5) meaning one drink. Sorry if that one was confusing

          Thank you! Yup, I was parsing the "8" as an "ATE" rather than an "AT".

        Took a minute to get the rules correct. (Helps if you read ALL of them.). After that, I didn’t have to 4CEIT, it was 💕
