How SWORN 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 22, 2026, with “Like some testimony and enemies” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | SWORD | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | SWORN ← this clue | Like some testimony and enemies |
| Clue rung | SCORN | Open disrespect |
| Clue rung | SCORE | Total of how many goals each team has |
| Clue rung | SCARE | Frightening moment |
| Clue rung | SHARE | Pass along to your followers, as a social media post |
| Bottom word | SHARP | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
SWORN sits at rung 1: from SWORD you change the fifth letter of SWORD from D to N to reach SWORN, then change the second letter of SWORN from W to C to get SCORN. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive SWORN even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
