From TUES you change the second letter of TUES from U to I to reach TIES, then change the third letter of TIES from E to N to get TINS.
How TIES 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 21, 2026, with “Neckwear items that are attached by making knots” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | HUGE | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | HUGS | Embraces in one’s arms |
| Clue rung | HUES | Shades of color |
| Clue rung | TUES | It comes between Mon. and Wed. |
| Clue rung | TIES ← this clue | Neckwear items that are attached by making knots |
| Clue rung | TINS | Containers for baked goods |
| Bottom word | TINY | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
TIES sits at rung 4: from TUES you change the second letter of TUES from U to I to reach TIES, then change the third letter of TIES from E to N to get TINS. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive TIES even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
