Level 54 clues and answers

  1. WHILE (top rung): During the time that
  2. WHINE: Complain in a high voice
  3. SHINE: Glow brightly
  4. SPINE: Backbone
  5. SPITE: Deliberate meanness
  6. SPIRE: Tall church point
  7. SPARE (bottom rung): Extra, like a tyre

How to solve level 54, step by step

  1. Answer the five clued rungs first. On the level 54 ladder they solve to WHINE, SHINE, SPINE, SPITE and SPIRE.
  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. WHINE becomes SHINE by changing the first letter from W to S.
  4. SHINE becomes SPINE by changing the second letter from H to P.
  5. SPINE becomes SPITE by changing the fourth letter from N to T.
  6. SPITE becomes SPIRE by changing the fourth letter from T to R.
  7. Line the five up that way and the ends unlock. The top answer WHILE sits one letter from WHINE (the fourth letter, L to N), and the bottom answer SPARE sits one letter from SPIRE (the third letter, I to A). Solve those two clues to finish the climb.
