One Step at a Time
What it means
Tackle something slowly and in order, without letting the size of the whole thing stop you starting.
Where it comes from
Mountaineers call this the rest step, a deliberate pause on the straight back leg between strides. It is how people walk up Everest, and it looks painfully slow from a distance.
The puzzle it came from
One Step at a Time was the answer to the Phrasicle of April 2, 2025. The clue read ____ ____ at a ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
