| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | HUGE | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | HUGS ← this clue | Embraces in one’s arms |
| Clue rung | HUES | Shades of color |
| Clue rung | TUES | It comes between Mon. and Wed. |
| Clue rung | TIES | Neckwear items that are attached by making knots |
