Word Climb level 21 answer and walkthrough

A 5-letter ladder rated medium, level 21 of 40. Word Climb levels are identical for every player, so this solution always matches the ladder in your game.

The level 21 ladder

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

Level 21 clues and answers

  1. SNACK (top rung): A little bite between meals
  2. STACK: A neat pile
  3. STUCK: Jammed and unable to move
  4. STICK: A twig from a tree
  5. SLICK: Smooth and slippery
  6. CLICK: The sound a mouse makes
  7. CLOCK (bottom rung): It tells the time

How to solve level 21, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 21 ladder they solve to STACK, STUCK, STICK, SLICK and CLICK.
  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. STACK becomes STUCK by changing the third letter from A to U.
  4. STUCK becomes STICK by changing the third letter from U to I.
  5. STICK becomes SLICK by changing the second letter from T to L.
  6. SLICK becomes CLICK by changing the first letter from S to C.
  7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer SNACK sits one letter from STACK (the second letter, N to T), and the bottom answer CLOCK sits one letter from CLICK (the third letter, I to O). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
