How KITE 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 11, 2026, with “Toy on a string that’s brought out on a windy day” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | CAMP | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | CAME | Showed up, as to a party |
| Clue rung | GAME | Word after "word," "board," or "video" |
| Clue rung | GATE | Entryway in a fence |
| Clue rung | KATE | Diminutive name for "Catherine" used by the Princess of Wales (___ Middleton) |
| Clue rung | KITE ← this clue | Toy on a string that’s brought out on a windy day |
| Bottom word | SITE | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
KITE sits at rung 5: from KATE you change the second letter of KATE from A to I to reach KITE, then change the first letter of KITE from K to S to get SITE.
