“Opposite of short” answer
The Crossclimb answer for “Opposite of short” (Monday, August 3, 2026) is:
TALL
You can also reveal it one letter at a time with the tiles above if you'd rather keep some of the challenge.
Why the answer is TALL
From TAIL you change the third letter of TAIL from I to L to reach TALL, then change the second letter of TALL from A to O to get TOLL.
How TALL 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 August 3, 2026, with “Opposite of short” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | RAIL | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | TAIL | Part of a dog that might wag |
| Clue rung | TALL ← this clue | Opposite of short |
| Clue rung | TOLL | Payment to cross a bridge |
| Clue rung | TOLD | “I ___ you so!” (expression when someone didn’t listen to a prior warning) |
| Clue rung | TOAD | Amphibian creature similar to a frog |
| Bottom word | ROAD | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
TALL sits at rung 2: from TAIL you change the third letter of TAIL from I to L to reach TALL, then change the second letter of TALL from A to O to get TOLL. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive TALL even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
