Why the answer is FELL
From WELL you change the first letter of WELL from W to F to reach FELL, then change the fourth letter of FELL from L to T to get FELT.
How FELL 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 25, 2026, with “Plunged” highlighted:
| Rung | Word | Clue |
|---|---|---|
| Top word | WELL | (unlocks last — fits the letters above the ladder) |
| Clue rung | FELL ← this clue | Plunged |
| Clue rung | FELT | Soft green material on a poker table |
| Clue rung | BELT | It may hold up your jeans |
| Clue rung | BEAT | Quality of a danceable song |
| Clue rung | BEAD | Stone with a hole in it used in jewelry |
| Bottom word | READ | (unlocks last — fits the letters below the ladder) |
FELL sits at rung 1: from WELL you change the first letter of WELL from W to F to reach FELL, then change the fourth letter of FELL from L to T to get FELT. Each neighbouring rung is exactly one letter away, which is how you can derive FELL even if the clue alone stumps you — solve a neighbour and the single-letter rule points straight here.
