Constructor's Note
Enjoy! (In case you haven't done a word ladder, each across entry changes in exactly one letter from the prior row, and the circled cells show which letter changes. The down "entries" are meaningless.) Listening to "Cat's in the Cradle" while solving is optional.

          The "milestones" are such a good idea, really well done!

            The variant spelling and the clue preceding it really ate me up time wise, dunno why I really bounced off the clue!

              Sorry! I really tried to make it work with TYKE but that โ€œYโ€ is uncommon.
