How to solve level 49, step by step
- Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 49 ladder they solve to SPIRE, SPICE, SLICE, SLICK and STICK.
- 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:
- SPIRE becomes SPICE by changing the fourth letter from R to C.
- SPICE becomes SLICE by changing the second letter from P to L.
- SLICE becomes SLICK by changing the fifth letter from E to K.
- SLICK becomes STICK by changing the second letter from L to T.
- Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer SPITE sits one letter from SPIRE (the fourth letter, T to R), and the bottom answer STINK sits one letter from STICK (the fourth letter, C to N). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
