Each of the clues leads to a five letter word. With the exception of the “First Name” and “Last Name” clues, these words can be arranged into a word ladder, where each word differs by one letter from the word before it:
- BREST
- CREST
- CHEST
- CHESS
- CHEWS
- CHOWS
- SHOWS
- SHOWN
- SHORN
- SHORE
- SHIRE
- SHINE
- SHINS
- CHINS
- COINS
- CORNS
- CORNY
- CARNY
- CARRY
- HARRY
- HAIRY
- FAIRY
- FAIRE
It makes sense for this ladder to be bracketed by the two remaining clues, leading to a name which differs by one letter in each word from BREST FAIRE. The answer is former Green Bay Packers quarterback BRETT FAVRE.
