| Top word | READ | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | REED | Tall grass that grows in a marsh, or the vibrating part of a woodwind instrument that creates sound |
| Clue rung | REEL | Short film, or the spool on which film is stored |
| Clue rung | REAL | Genuine |
| Clue rung | REAM ← this clue | 500 sheets of paper |
| Clue rung | ROAM | Wander around without a set destination |
