What is LinkedIn Crossclimb and how do you play it?
Crossclimb is a daily word ladder on LinkedIn with seven rows. Each of the five middle rows has its own clue, and every word differs from the one above it by a single letter. Once the middle is solved, the top and bottom rows unlock: they share one clue, and the two words together make a short phrase.
A new Crossclimb comes out every day at midnight Pacific Time. That is 3:00 a.m. Eastern all year round, and 08:00 GMT while the US is on standard time (early November to mid-March) or 07:00 GMT while it is on daylight saving time (mid-March to early November). Pinpoint Today adds the new puzzle once it is out.
In the game the top and bottom rows stay locked until the five middle rows are solved. Those two words are the hardest to guess, and the middle rows give you most of their letters, because each word is one letter away from its neighbour. This page keeps that order: the top and bottom button opens after the five rungs above it, or together with all of them under Show all rungs.
Stuck on the Crossclimb answer today? What should I do?
Open the hint first. Then show one rung at a time: every word is one letter away from the rungs next to it, so a single answer often unlocks the next. Use Show all rungs only when you want the whole ladder.
