How CONE 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 27, 2026, with “Edible holder for ice cream” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | NOSE | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | NONE | “A friend to all is a friend to ___” (Aristotle) |
| Clue rung | CONE ← this clue | Edible holder for ice cream |
| Clue rung | CORE | Part of an apple that contains its seeds |
| Clue rung | CORN | Cereal crop that might appear at breakfast in “flake” form |
| Clue rung | COIN | Piece of metal currency that may be flipped |
| Bottom word | CHIN | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
CONE sits at rung 2: from NONE you change the first letter of NONE from N to C to reach CONE, then change the third letter of CONE from N to R to get CORE. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive CONE even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
