Why the answer is TALES
From WALES you change the first letter of WALES from W to T to reach TALES, then change the fourth letter of TALES from E to K to get TALKS.
How TALES 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 12, 2026, with “Legendary stories” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | WATER | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | WAVER | Be unsure about a choice |
| Clue rung | WAVES | Disturbances in the ocean |
| Clue rung | WALES | Country that’s part of the United Kingdom |
| Clue rung | TALES ← this clue | Legendary stories |
| Clue rung | TALKS | Peace _ (negotiation occasions) |
| Bottom word | TANKS | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
TALES sits at rung 4: from WALES you change the first letter of WALES from W to T to reach TALES, then change the fourth letter of TALES from E to K to get TALKS. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive TALES even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
