How TUNES 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 23, 2026, with “Catchy ditties” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | TAXIS | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | TAXES | Charges added at the end of a sales receipt |
| Clue rung | TUXES | Men's formalwear options, for short |
| Clue rung | TUNES ← this clue | Catchy ditties |
| Clue rung | RUNES | Letters a Norse god might use |
| Clue rung | RUSES | Deceptive tricks |
| Bottom word | BUSES | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
TUNES sits at rung 3: from TUXES you change the third letter of TUXES from X to N to reach TUNES, then change the first letter of TUNES from T to R to get RUNES. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive TUNES even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
