Why the answer is COLT
From COLD you change the fourth letter of COLD from D to T to reach COLT, then change the third letter of COLT from L to A to get COAT.
How COLT fits the ladder
Crossclimb stacks 7 words where each one changes a single letter from the word above it. Here's the full ladder for July 11, 2026, with “Young male horse” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | TURN | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | TORN | Ripped |
| Clue rung | CORN | Vegetable basis of the Mexican snack elote |
| Clue rung | CORD | Thin rope that may be used in bungee jumping |
| Clue rung | COLD | At a dead end, as a case |
| Clue rung | COLT ← this clue | Young male horse |
| Bottom word | COAT | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
COLT sits at rung 5: from COLD you change the fourth letter of COLD from D to T to reach COLT, then change the third letter of COLT from L to A to get COAT. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive COLT even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
