How SPARK 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 25, 2026, with “It may light a fire” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | SMART | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | START | Begin |
| Clue rung | STARS | Parts of a constellation |
| Clue rung | SPARS | Practices for a boxing match |
| Clue rung | SPARK ← this clue | It may light a fire |
| Clue rung | SHARK | Hammerhead or great white, for example |
| Bottom word | SHARP | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
SPARK sits at rung 4: from SPARS you change the fifth letter of SPARS from S to K to reach SPARK, then change the second letter of SPARK from P to H to get SHARK. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive SPARK even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
