Word Climb level 17 answer and walkthrough

A 5-letter ladder rated medium, level 17 of 40. Word Climb levels are identical for every player, so this solution always matches the ladder in your game.

The level 17 ladder

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

Level 17 clues and answers

  1. LOVER (top rung): A sweetheart
  2. COVER: A blanket, or a book's front
  3. MOVER: One who hauls furniture
  4. MOWER: Machine that cuts the lawn
  5. POWER: Strength, or electricity
  6. TOWER: Tall structure like the Eiffel one
  7. TOWEL (bottom rung): You dry off with it

How to solve level 17, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 17 ladder they solve to COVER, MOVER, MOWER, POWER and TOWER.
  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. COVER becomes MOVER by changing the first letter from C to M.
  4. MOVER becomes MOWER by changing the third letter from V to W.
  5. MOWER becomes POWER by changing the first letter from M to P.
  6. POWER becomes TOWER by changing the first letter from P to T.
  7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer LOVER sits one letter from COVER (the first letter, L to C), and the bottom answer TOWEL sits one letter from TOWER (the fifth letter, R to L). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
