|---|---|---|
| Top word | SWORD | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | SWORN | Like some testimony and enemies |
| Clue rung | SCORN ← this clue | 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 |
