Word Climb level 5 answer and walkthrough

A 4-letter ladder rated easy, level 5 of 40. Word Climb levels are identical for every player, so this solution always matches the ladder in your game.

The level 5 ladder

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

  1. TOLD (top rung): Let someone know
  2. HOLD: Grip tightly
  3. FOLD: Bend paper in half
  4. FOOD: What you eat
  5. FOOL: Trick someone, or a silly one
  6. POOL: Place for a swim
  7. COOL (bottom rung): Mildly cold, or awesome

How to solve level 5, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 5 ladder they solve to HOLD, FOLD, FOOD, FOOL and POOL.
  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. HOLD becomes FOLD by changing the first letter from H to F.
  4. FOLD becomes FOOD by changing the third letter from L to O.
  5. FOOD becomes FOOL by changing the fourth letter from D to L.
  6. FOOL becomes POOL by changing the first letter from F to P.
  7. 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.
