How BASES 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 8, 2026, with “Military installations” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | DUNES | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | DANES | People from the same country as Neils Bohr and Hans Christian Andersen |
| Clue rung | VANES | Parts of windmills |
| Clue rung | VASES | Pieces of pottery that may hold flowers |
| Clue rung | BASES ← this clue | Military installations |
| Clue rung | BASIS | Foundation of an argument |
| Bottom word | OASIS | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
BASES sits at rung 4: from VASES you change the first letter of VASES from V to B to reach BASES, then change the fourth letter of BASES from E to I to get BASIS. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive BASES even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
