🎮 Crossclimb Tips and Strategies

  • Start with what you know: Like any crossword puzzle, go through the clues and answer the ones you know first. These will give you a good starting point to solve the puzzle. This leads us into the next tip...
  • Skip what you don’t know: Since there are seven clues, you have a few opportunities to skip the ones you don’t know. You know all of the subsequent or previous answers only differ by one letter, so skipping around can help you solve them.
  • Swap the letters: The core mechanic in this puzzle is that every answer swaps out a letter from the previous and subsequent answer. If you’re stuck on a clue, try solving the one before and/or after it to figure it out.
  • Word length: Every puzzle will have the same number of letters for the answers, typically four or five. Make sure to keep that in mind when solving the answers.
