The Crossclimb answer for “Animal that symbolizes a rising stock market” (Tuesday, August 18, 2026) is:
BULL
You can also reveal it one letter at a time with the tiles above if you'd rather keep some of the challenge.

From FULL you change the first letter of FULL from F to B to reach BULL, then change the second letter of BULL from U to I to get BILL.
How BULL 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 18, 2026, with “Animal that symbolizes a rising stock market” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | FUEL | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | FULL | Stuffed |
| Clue rung | BULL ← this clue | Animal that symbolizes a rising stock market |
| Clue rung | BILL | It may become a law |
| Clue rung | WILL | Opposite of "won't" |
| Clue rung | WELL | Source of drinking water |
| Bottom word | CELL | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
BULL sits at rung 2: from FULL you change the first letter of FULL from F to B to reach BULL, then change the second letter of BULL from U to I to get BILL. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive BULL even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
