Make the most of your next guess

Two words connect only when they have the same length and differ in exactly one position. Solving the clues and arranging the ladder are separate steps.

Use the Crossclimb solver to work with the clues already in your game. You can also play Crossclimb at its official site.

Where the answers and hints come from

Crossclimb answers are cross-checked against two independent published solution lists. Both must agree on the date, puzzle number and complete word ladder. Each page identifies its puzzle date and source; when the current puzzle cannot be verified, its answers are withheld.

Letter hints are calculated from each answer; any dictionary meaning has its source shown beside the hint. Where the game publishes a clue, it is labelled “Puzzle clue”. FiveLetterWords is independent of Crossclimb. Contact us about a correction.
