| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | FOOT | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | BOOT | Type of shoe that extends up the lower leg to offer more protection |
| Clue rung | BOOS ← this clue | Protesting sounds heard after a controversial sports call |
| Clue rung | BOTS | Software programs that crawl the web to analyze web pages |
| Clue rung | BOTH | Best of ___ worlds (enjoy two things simultaneously) |
| Clue rung | BATH | Relaxing soak in a tub |
