Word Climb level 1 answer and walkthrough

A 4-letter ladder rated easy, level 1 of 40. Word Climb levels are identical for every player, so this solution always matches the ladder in your game.

The level 1 ladder

Each rung differs from the one above by exactly one letter. The highlighted tile is the letter that changes as you climb.

Level 1 clues and answers

  1. GREW (top rung): Got bigger
  2. BREW: Make beer or tea
  3. CREW: A ship's team
  4. CROW: Black cawing bird
  5. GROW: Increase in size
  6. GLOW: Soft steady light
  7. SLOW (bottom rung): Not fast

How to solve level 1, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 1 ladder they solve to BREW, CREW, CROW, GROW and GLOW.
  2. 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:
  3. BREW becomes CREW by changing the first letter from B to C.
  4. CREW becomes CROW by changing the third letter from E to O.
  5. CROW becomes GROW by changing the first letter from C to G.
  6. GROW becomes GLOW by changing the second letter from R to L.
  7. 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.
