Crossword Genius

Set of steps made to scale? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ladder

This clue is a double definition.

'set of steps' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to scale?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'made' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ladder that I've seen before include "something that can send you in the opposite direction?" , "Climbing structure" , "snag in hose" , "Set of rungs" , "See 12" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
