From BUNK you change the second letter of BUNK from U to A to reach BANK, then change the fourth letter of BANK from K to S to get BANS.
How BANK 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 20, 2026, with “Financial institution where checks can be deposited” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | BUNK | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | BANK ← this clue | Financial institution where checks can be deposited |
| Clue rung | BANS | Declares to be illegal |
| Clue rung | BINS | Containers, as for recycling or dirty laundry |
| Clue rung | BITS | Tiny pieces, or 0s and 1s in computing |
| Clue rung | BETS | Makes a wager in a casino |
| Bottom word | BEDS | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
BANK sits at rung 1: from BUNK you change the second letter of BUNK from U to A to reach BANK, then change the fourth letter of BANK from K to S to get BANS. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive BANK even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
