Today's ladder climbs through 5 words of 4 letters, plus a top and a bottom word that are not clued at all. 3 different letter positions change across the ladder.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The quickest clue is "Opportunity", a 4-letter word starting with S.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
In ladder order the clued rungs run from HOOD to SHOP, and the changing letter sits at position 4, then 1, then 2, then 4.
Hint 3: nearly there
WOOD goes on top and CHOP at the bottom; each differs from its neighbouring rung at position 1.
