The Idea

Crossclimb crosses a crossword with a word ladder. You get five quick clues — each answer is a 4-letter word. Solving them is only half the puzzle: the answers then have to be rearranged into a ladder, where every word differs from the one above it by exactly one letter.

Order the rungs correctly and two hidden words appear — one above the ladder, one below. A final clue points to both. Crack it and the climb is complete.

From WARM to COLD, one letter at a time — that's a word ladder. Lewis Carroll invented the form in 1877; Crossclimb adds clues, speed, and a daily twist.

How A Climb Works

What's Inside

Questions

How is this different from a crossword?

The clues feel familiar, but the answers are linked: they form a chain where neighboring words differ by one letter. Solving the clues is step one — finding the right order is the real puzzle.

What if two words could both fit a clue?

Every puzzle is checked so its ladder has exactly one valid order. If your arrangement doesn't click, one of your rungs belongs somewhere else.

When does a new daily puzzle arrive?

A new climb unlocks each day at midnight, local time, and it's the same for every player.

What if I want to play more than once a day?

Unlimited mode has 132 levels ordered from easy to hard. Level progress is saved automatically and doesn't affect your daily streak.

Does it support Dark Mode?

Yes — choose System, Light, or Dark in Settings.
