LinkedIn’s Crossclimb puzzle for today, #705, follows the classic word ladder format where each row changes one letter from the previous word to create a new valid word. The challenge is to move from the starting word to the final word while keeping the transformation valid at every step.
Here are the correct words arranged in order:
BASKET
BASKED
TASKED
TASTED
MASTED
MASTER
EASTER
Each step changes just one letter while maintaining a meaningful word.
BASKET → BASKED
The last letter changes from T to D, forming the past tense basked.
BASKED → TASKED
The first letter changes from B to T, forming tasked, meaning assigned a task.
TASKED → TASTED
The K changes to T, forming tasted, referring to trying a flavor.
TASTED → MASTED
The first letter changes from T to M, creating masted, a word used in sailing to describe something with a mast.
MASTED → MASTER
The D changes to R, forming master, meaning someone highly skilled or in control.
MASTER → EASTER
Finally, the first letter changes from M to E, forming Easter, the holiday that completes the puzzle.
Today’s Crossclimb puzzle is a satisfying ladder that smoothly transitions from BASKET at the top to EASTER at the bottom with clean one-letter changes at every step.
