The level 5 ladder
TOLD
HOLD
FOLD
FOOD
FOOL
POOL
COOL
Each rung differs from the one above by exactly one letter. The highlighted tile is the letter that changes as you climb.
Level 5 clues and answers
- TOLD (top rung): Let someone know
- HOLD: Grip tightly
- FOLD: Bend paper in half
- FOOD: What you eat
- FOOL: Trick someone, or a silly one
- POOL: Place for a swim
- COOL (bottom rung): Mildly cold, or awesome
How to solve level 5, step by step
- Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 5 ladder they solve to HOLD, FOLD, FOOD, FOOL and POOL.
- 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:
- HOLD becomes FOLD by changing the first letter from H to F.
- FOLD becomes FOOD by changing the third letter from L to O.
- FOOD becomes FOOL by changing the fourth letter from D to L.
- FOOL becomes POOL by changing the first letter from F to P.
- Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer TOLD sits one letter from HOLD (the first letter, T to H), and the bottom answer COOL sits one letter from POOL (the first letter, P to C). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
