Level 1 clues and answers
- GREW (top rung): Got bigger

- CROW: Black cawing bird
- GROW: Increase in size
- GLOW: Soft steady light
- SLOW (bottom rung): Not fast
How to solve level 1, step by step
- Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 1 ladder they solve to BREW, CREW, CROW, GROW and GLOW.
- Now put those five in the one order where each word differs from its neighbour by a single letter. That forced order (the same puzzle read either way up) links them like this:
- BREW becomes CREW by changing the first letter from B to C.
- CREW becomes CROW by changing the third letter from E to O.
- CROW becomes GROW by changing the first letter from C to G.
- GROW becomes GLOW by changing the second letter from R to L.
- Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer GREW sits one letter from BREW (the first letter, G to B), and the bottom answer SLOW sits one letter from GLOW (the first letter, G to S). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
