Crossclimb #670 Answer – March 1, 2026
TYPEFACE
Answer
TYPEFACE
Combo Clue
“A compound word that describes the design of letters, numbers, and other symbols to be used when printing a book”
📖 How I Solved It
I dove into puzzle #670 and was super excited to tackle it, especially with a clue like 'A compound word that describes the design of letters, numbers, and other symbols to be used when printing a book.' I thought I was on the right track with 'lettering' at first, but that didn't fit the combo answer. I was a bit stumped until I finally had a breakthrough with 'TYPEFACE.' The word ladder was a fun challenge, but I got tripped up on 'TAPE' and 'TAKE'—I kept mixing them up! Once I sorted those out, everything fell into place. It was like a little light bulb moment when I saw how they all connected. The transition from 'FADE' to 'FACE' was particularly satisfying. All in all, it was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I loved every minute of it!
