Crossclimb #911: 5 clues, 4-letter answers, one letter swapped per step. The letter that changes moves around: position 1, then 2, then 3, then 1.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The quickest clue is "Time ___ (when to book a meeting)", a 4-letter word starting with S.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Below the top word, SLOT is the first clued rung, and GOAT is the last one above the bottom word; between them the swaps happen at positions 1, 2, 3 and 1.
Hint 3: nearly there
SHOT goes on top and GOAL at the bottom; each differs from its neighbouring rung at position 2 for the top word and 4 for the bottom one.
