    Two neighbouring rungs differ by exactly one letter, in the same place.

Crossclimb tips that solve it faster

  • Solve the easy clues first

    Two or three sure words give you the letters every other word shares.

  • Use the length

    Every word has the same number of letters, which rules out most answers to a vague clue.

  • Let the ladder guess

    An unsolved word is one letter away from its neighbours: change one letter of a solved word until it fits the clue.

  • Order by the changing letter

    Line the words up and look at which letter changes between them; the order follows it.
