LinkedIn Crossclimb invite
What is a Crossclimb invite on LinkedIn?
A Crossclimb invite on LinkedIn is a challenge from a connection to play today's Crossclimb, the daily word puzzle, sent as LinkedIn's invite notification, usually right after they solved it. That is all it means: it opens the same free puzzle every player gets, so you can compare times. It is not a separate game or a paid feature, and the invitation lasts until midnight Pacific Time, when a new Crossclimb arrives.
- Free
- Today's puzzle only
- Nothing happens if you ignore it
How a Crossclimb invite works
A connection solves it
They climb today's ladder from the first clue to the last rung, and LinkedIn shows their time.
They send it to you
From the result screen, they share the puzzle with you as a challenge.
You open the same Crossclimb
The invite opens today's clues, the ones every player gets. Build the ladder as usual.
You compare times
When you finish, you see who was faster, and you can pass it on yourself.
Do people invite you to play Crossclimb on LinkedIn?
Yes. A Crossclimb invite comes from a connection who played today's Crossclimb and shared it from the result screen. It reaches you because someone you know chose to send it, and nothing happens if you do not play.
What is Crossclimb on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn's daily word ladder: solve each clue for a word, put the words in order so each differs from the next by one letter, then solve the top and bottom rungs. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day (how to play Crossclimb).
Is it safe?
An invite is LinkedIn's own feature. If a message looks odd, check that it comes from someone you know and that it opens linkedin.com/games. A Crossclimb invite never asks for a payment or a password.
When it runs out
The invitation is for one day's puzzle. At midnight Pacific Time it stops being playable and a new Crossclimb replaces it (when do LinkedIn games reset).
Invites in the other games
The same challenge comes for other LinkedIn games: the Zip invite ("You've got an invite"), the Wend invite, the Queens invite, the Patches invite, the Pinpoint invite, the Tango invite and the Mini Sudoku invite.
