VISE is the answer to "Gripping tool with two jaws" in LinkedIn Crossclimb on Thursday, September 10, 2026. It has four letters and sits on rung 5, just above the bottom word.
"Gripping tool with two jaws" answer
The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:
VISE
The rest of the ladder at the top of the page stays hidden until you tap a rung, so you can check this word without giving away the others.
Why VISE fits
If you've already solved WISE, change its first letter from W to V. The bottom word, VASE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from VISE only in the second letter, A instead of I.
