Crossclimb FAQ & Hints
How many rungs are in today's Crossclimb ladder?
Today's ladder has 7 rungs, each a 4-letter word.
What are today's Crossclimb middle-rung clues?
The clues for today's five middle rungs are: (1) Nights like the 24th and 31st of December that precede other holidays (2) Body parts that all bats have and use to perceive the world, despite what the idiom "blind as a bat" might imply (3) Affirmative votes, as in the British Parliament (4) Citrus drinks (most commonly used as a suffix after fruit names like lemon or lime) (5) Lyric poems that praise or glorify their subject
How does the Crossclimb bookend word work?
The top and bottom rungs of the ladder share one bookend clue describing how the two words relate to each other, even though the ladder itself climbs word-by-word from top to bottom.
Why do adjacent rungs in a Crossclimb ladder differ by exactly one letter?
Crossclimb is a word ladder: each rung changes exactly one letter from the rung above it while staying the same length, so the whole climb reads as one continuous chain of near-identical words.
Do you need to solve the middle rungs in order?
No. You can guess the five middle rungs from their clues in any order, but the real game only accepts the ladder once you arrange all seven words into their correct climbing sequence.
What if you can't work out how the bookend words connect?
Solve the five middle rungs first. Once the one-letter chain is filled in, the relationship between the top and bottom bookend words is usually much easier to spot.
