Word Climb level 45 answer and walkthrough

A 5-letter ladder rated medium, level 45 of 54. Word Climb levels are identical for every player, so this solution always matches the ladder in your game.

The level 45 ladder

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

Level 45 clues and answers

  1. SLEEK (top rung): Smooth and shiny
  2. SLEEP: What you do at night
  3. STEEP: Hard to climb
  4. STEEL: Strong metal made from iron
  5. STEAL: Take without asking
  6. STEAM: Hot mist from a kettle
  7. STEAK (bottom rung): Thick cut of beef

How to solve level 45, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 45 ladder they solve to SLEEP, STEEP, STEEL, STEAL and STEAM.
  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. SLEEP becomes STEEP by changing the second letter from L to T.
  4. STEEP becomes STEEL by changing the fifth letter from P to L.
  5. STEEL becomes STEAL by changing the fourth letter from E to A.
  6. STEAL becomes STEAM by changing the fifth letter from L to M.
  7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer SLEEK sits one letter from SLEEP (the fifth letter, K to P), and the bottom answer STEAK sits one letter from STEAM (the fifth letter, M to K). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
