How CASK 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 20, 2026, with “Large barrel-shaped container for wine or other liquids” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | CASE | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | CASK ← this clue | Large barrel-shaped container for wine or other liquids |
| Clue rung | MASK | What a superhero wears to protect their other identity |
| Clue rung | MARK | “You're way off the ___” (far from accurate) |
| Clue rung | PARK | Grassy area for public enjoyment |
| Clue rung | PORK | Type of meat served at a pig roast |
| Bottom word | WORK | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
CASK sits at rung 1: from CASE you change the fourth letter of CASE from E to K to reach CASK, then change the first letter of CASK from C to M to get MASK.
