Word Climb level 42 answer and walkthrough

A 5-letter ladder rated medium, level 42 of 54. Word Climb levels are identical for every player, so this solution always matches the ladder in your game.

The level 42 ladder

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

Level 42 clues and answers

  1. SNEAK (top rung): Creep about quietly
  2. SPEAK: Say something out loud
  3. SPEAR: Long pointed throwing pole
  4. SWEAR: Promise under oath
  5. SWEAT: What you do in a heatwave
  6. SWEPT: Cleaned the floor with a broom
  7. SWEET (bottom rung): Like honey or lollies

How to solve level 42, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 42 ladder they solve to SPEAK, SPEAR, SWEAR, SWEAT and SWEPT.
  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. SPEAK becomes SPEAR by changing the fifth letter from K to R.
  4. SPEAR becomes SWEAR by changing the second letter from P to W.
  5. SWEAR becomes SWEAT by changing the fifth letter from R to T.
  6. SWEAT becomes SWEPT by changing the fourth letter from A to P.
  7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer SNEAK sits one letter from SPEAK (the second letter, N to P), and the bottom answer SWEET sits one letter from SWEPT (the fourth letter, P to E). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
