What is Crossclimb?
Crossclimb is a word ladder with clues, the puzzle LinkedIn's Crossclimb game is built on. The middle rungs arrive shuffled, each with a crossword-style clue.
Solve them, then drag the answers into an order where every word is one letter away from the one above it (COOK, CORK, WORK). The two end words unlock with one shared clue: read together they make a phrase or compound word (BOOK + WORM).
LinkedIn publishes one puzzle a day. Here there are 581 practice ladders across six tiers, from three-rung warm-ups to six-rung climbs in rarer words, plus a fresh daily ladder every midnight.
