Themed Word Ladder

As Dr. King Said

Not a 41 Across Dragon. (Near Cairns, Australia, Jan. 2024)

On Sunday afternoon (Jan. 19), I sat down to construct a basic word ladder puzzle.  When I started to clue the puzzle, I realized the quote from Dr. King referenced in 1 Across and 62 Across would be a good framing device.  Originally, I thought I’d post this puzzle in late March, since I’ve got several other grids lined up already.  But given that today commemorates Dr. King, whose message was founded in 62 Across, and is simultaneously the inauguration of a man whose message fosters 1 Across, I decided to rush the puzzle out the door, so to speak.  Let’s all do our best to turn 1 Across into 62 Across!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

This midi is an alchemical word ladder.  My favorite clue is 45 Across; if you’re puzzled by it, look up the Florida State mascot.

Word ladder puzzles have been around forever, but somehow, this is the first one I’ve ever constructed.   It’s also a pangram, with help from 9 Down and 21 Across.  Enjoy!
