FIND is the answer to "Locate, as something lost" in LinkedIn Crossclimb on Friday, October 2, 2026. It has four letters and sits on rung 5, just above the bottom word.
"Locate, as something lost" answer
The answer for Friday's puzzle is:
FIND
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 FIND fits
If you've already solved FOND, change its second letter from O to I. The bottom word, WIND, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from FIND only in the first letter, W instead of F.
