How TOLL 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 “Payment to cross a bridge” 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 | Opposite of short |
| Clue rung | TOLL ← this clue | 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) |
TOLL sits at rung 3: from TALL you change the second letter of TALL from A to O to reach TOLL, then change the fourth letter of TOLL from L to D to get TOLD.
