“Electricity, for example” answer
The Crossclimb answer for “Electricity, for example” (Saturday, July 18, 2026) is:
POWER
You can also reveal it one letter at a time with the tiles above if you'd rather keep some of the challenge.
Why the answer is POWER
From VOWER you change the first letter of VOWER from V to P to reach POWER, then change the third letter of POWER from W to K to get POKER.
How POWER 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 18, 2026, with “Electricity, for example” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | VOTER | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | VOWER | One who makes a commitment, as a bride or groom on their wedding day |
| Clue rung | POWER ← this clue | Electricity, for example |
| Clue rung | POKER | Bluffing game played around a table at a casino |
| Clue rung | POKES | Prods, as with a stick or finger |
| Clue rung | POLES | Ends of a magnetic field, such as Earth's North and South |
| Bottom word | POLLS | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
POWER sits at rung 2: from VOWER you change the first letter of VOWER from V to P to reach POWER, then change the third letter of POWER from W to K to get POKER. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive POWER even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
