How PORK 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 28, 2026, with “Ham or bacon” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | FORE | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | FORK | Common piece of tableware, or a branch in the road |
| Clue rung | PORK ← this clue | Ham or bacon |
| Clue rung | PORT | Place to plug in a USB device on a laptop |
| Clue rung | POST | Share an update on social media |
| Clue rung | COST | Price to pay |
| Bottom word | CAST | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
PORK sits at rung 2: from FORK you change the first letter of FORK from F to P to reach PORK, then change the fourth letter of PORK from K to T to get PORT. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive PORK even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
