Word Climb level 25 answer and walkthrough

The level 25 ladder

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

Level 25 clues and answers

1. SHADE (top rung): Shelter from the bright sun
2. SHAPE: A circle or a square is one
3. SHAKE: Wobble quickly side to side
4. STAKE: A pointed post in the ground
5. STATE: A region of a country
6. SKATE: Glide along on ice or wheels
7. SLATE (bottom rung): Grey rock used for roofs

How to solve level 25, step by step

1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 25 ladder they solve to SHAPE, SHAKE, STAKE, STATE and SKATE.
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. SHAPE becomes SHAKE by changing the fourth letter from P to K.
4. SHAKE becomes STAKE by changing the second letter from H to T.
5. STAKE becomes STATE by changing the fourth letter from K to T.
6. STATE becomes SKATE by changing the second letter from T to K.
7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer SHADE sits one letter from SHAPE (the fourth letter, D to P), and the bottom answer SLATE sits one letter from SKATE (the second letter, K to L). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
