LinkedIn’s Crossclimb puzzle for today, #709, follows the classic word ladder format. The objective is to transform the starting word into the final word by changing one letter at a time, while ensuring every intermediate step forms a valid word.
Here are the correct words arranged in order:
TEXT
TENT
TINT
MINT
MINE
MILE
FILE
Each step changes just one letter.
TEXT → TENT
The letter X changes to N, forming tent.
TENT → TINT
The letter E changes to I, creating tint.
TINT → MINT
The first letter changes from T to M, forming mint.
MINT → MINE
The letter T changes to E, producing mine.
MINE → MILE
The letter N changes to L, forming mile.
MILE → FILE
The first letter changes from M to F, completing the ladder with file.
Today’s Crossclimb puzzle creates a smooth progression from TEXT at the top to FILE at the bottom, with a single-letter change in every step.
