In “Universal rigidity on the line, point order” it is shown, answering a question of Jordán and Nguyen, that universal rigidity of a generic bar-joint framework in \(\mathbb{R}^1\) depends on more than the ordering of the vertices. The graph \(G\) that was used in that paper is a ladder with three rungs. Here we provide a general answer when that ladder with three rungs in the line is universally rigid and when it is not.
