The answer is SETSONFIRE.
The crossword clue "Starts the burn, as the softener is applied" with the answer "SETSONFIRE" involves a clever play on words. The phrase "starts the burn" refers to the act of igniting or initiating a fire, which aligns with the term "set on fire."
The second part of the clue, "as the softener is applied," adds another layer to the interpretation. It suggests that the application of a softening agent (like fabric softener in laundry, for instance) is associated with a transformation.

Thus, the entire clue works as a descriptive way to convey the idea of initiating a fire while also playing on the dual meaning of the words involved.
