Word Climb level 13 answer and walkthrough

The level 13 ladder

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

Level 13 clues and answers

1. GOAL (top rung): What you aim to score
2. GOAD: Prod someone into acting
3. GOOD: The opposite of bad
4. FOOD: Anything you eat
5. WOOD: What trees are made of
6. WORD: A single unit of language
7. WORM (bottom rung): It wriggles in the soil

How to solve level 13, step by step

1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 13 ladder they solve to GOAD, GOOD, FOOD, WOOD and WORD.
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. GOAD becomes GOOD by changing the third letter from A to O.
4. GOOD becomes FOOD by changing the first letter from G to F.
5. FOOD becomes WOOD by changing the first letter from F to W.
6. WOOD becomes WORD by changing the third letter from O to R.
7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer GOAL sits one letter from GOAD (the fourth letter, L to D), and the bottom answer WORM sits one letter from WORD (the fourth letter, D to M). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
