How Word Climb answers work

Word Climb is a word-ladder puzzle: seven rungs where every word differs from the one above it by exactly one letter. The five middle rungs come with clues and arrive shuffled, so you solve them and then slot them into the single order that links the chain. Getting that order right unlocks the top and bottom rungs. Each level above lists all seven answers in ladder order with their clues, and the ladder view highlights the letter that changes on every rung.

There is only ever one correct ordering (read either way up), so no level needs a guess. If you would rather find the words yourself, open the level in the game and use the Reveal a letter nudge for a gentle push instead.
