Word Climb level 22 answer and walkthrough

A 5-letter ladder rated medium, level 22 of 40. Word Climb levels are identical for every player, so this solution always matches the ladder in your game.

The level 22 ladder

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

Level 22 clues and answers

  1. SHIRT (top rung): Top you button up
  2. SHORT: Not tall
  3. SHORE: The edge of the sea
  4. STORE: A shop
  5. STONE: A rock, or a fruit's hard pit
  6. STOLE: Took, in the past
  7. STYLE (bottom rung): Fashion or flair

How to solve level 22, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 22 ladder they solve to SHORT, SHORE, STORE, STONE and STOLE.
  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. SHORT becomes SHORE by changing the fifth letter from T to E.
  4. SHORE becomes STORE by changing the second letter from H to T.
  5. STORE becomes STONE by changing the fourth letter from R to N.
  6. STONE becomes STOLE by changing the fourth letter from N to L.
  7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer SHIRT sits one letter from SHORT (the third letter, I to O), and the bottom answer STYLE sits one letter from STOLE (the third letter, O to Y). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
