How DOCK 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 14, 2026, with “Loading area by the water in a harbor town” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | BOAT | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | BOAR | Wild pig |
| Clue rung | SOAR | Fly high into the air, like an eagle |
| Clue rung | SOAK | Enjoy a long bath |
| Clue rung | SOCK | Clothing that might be put on a foot before putting on a shoe |
| Clue rung | DOCK ← this clue | Loading area by the water in a harbor town |
| Bottom word | DECK | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
DOCK sits at rung 5: from SOCK you change the first letter of SOCK from S to D to reach DOCK, then change the second letter of DOCK from O to E to get DECK.
