| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | CALL | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | TALL | Having above-average height |
| Clue rung | TALE | Something Hans Christian Andersen wrote |
| Clue rung | BALE | Bundle of straw or hay |
| Clue rung | BASE | Something used to neutralize an acid |
| Clue rung | BASK ← this clue | Loll in the sun |

BASK sits at rung 5: from BASE you change the fourth letter of BASE from E to K to reach BASK, then change the third letter of BASK from S to C to get BACK. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive BASK even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
