Today’s LinkedIn Crossclimb puzzle (#721) follows the familiar word-ladder pattern where each step changes only one letter from the previous word while keeping the rest the same. The objective is to move from the starting word EASY to the final word REST through valid intermediate words.

Each row differs from the previous one by just a single letter, which is the key rule of Crossclimb.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
EASY → EAST
The last letter changes from Y to T, forming EAST, one of the four main compass directions.
EAST → VAST
The first letter changes from E to V, creating VAST, meaning very large or immense.
VAST → VEST
The second letter changes from A to E, producing VEST, a sleeveless garment often worn as part of formal clothing.
VEST → VENT
The third letter changes from S to N, forming VENT, which refers to an opening that allows air, gas, or steam to escape.
VENT → RENT
The first letter changes from V to R, creating RENT, which usually refers to payment for using property.
RENT → REST
The third letter changes from N to S, producing REST, meaning relaxation or a pause from activity.
Final Word Ladder
EASY → EAST → VAST → VEST → VENT → RENT → REST
Every step modifies only one letter, gradually transforming the starting word into the final solution while keeping each intermediate step a valid English word.
