About Crossclimb

Crossclimb is LinkedIn’s daily trivia and word-ladder game. You answer clues to find words, then arrange them so each word differs from the next by a single letter.

Once the middle of the ladder is in order, the top and bottom rungs unlock with one last clue.

How Crossclimb works

  • Answer each trivia clue with a word of the given length.
  • Reorder the words so neighbours differ by exactly one letter.
  • When the middle ladder is correct, the top and bottom rungs unlock.
  • Solve the final clue to complete both ends of the ladder.
