How to Solve Crossclimb #925

- LICK is what you do with a lollipop.
- LINK completes both missing link and cuff link.
- MINK is an animal in the weasel family.
- MINE means belonging to me.
Order the middle rungs as LACK → LICK → LINK → MINK → MINE. BACK differs from LACK at the first letter, as NINE does from MINE. Together they give back nine.
