How AIRS 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 31, 2026, with “States publicly, as grievances” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | FINE | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | FIRE | Classical element alongside earth, air, and water |
| Clue rung | FIRS | Evergreen trees known for needle-like leaves |
| Clue rung | AIRS ← this clue | States publicly, as grievances |
| Clue rung | AIMS | Goals and objectives |
| Clue rung | ARMS | Body parts attached to the shoulders |
| Bottom word | ARTS | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
AIRS sits at rung 3: from FIRS you change the first letter of FIRS from F to A to reach AIRS, then change the third letter of AIRS from R to M to get AIMS. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive AIRS even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
