How HERD 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 30, 2026, with “Large group of animals like cows or sheep” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | HARD | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | HERD ← this clue | Large group of animals like cows or sheep |
| Clue rung | HERE | In this location |
| Clue rung | HIRE | Employ for a job |
| Clue rung | DIRE | Extremely serious, like some consequences |
| Clue rung | DARE | Challenge someone to complete a task |
| Bottom word | WARE | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
HERD sits at rung 1: from HARD you change the second letter of HARD from A to E to reach HERD, then change the fourth letter of HERD from D to E to get HERE. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive HERD even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
