Crossclimb No. 243 by Paolo Pasco is now live! Which clues took you the longest to crack? Share below👇 (Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't played, yet!) http://lnkd.in/crossclimb Crossclimb is inspired by a mini crossword — but with a twist! Answer each clue, then organize the rows into a word ladder, where each word is just one letter different from the one before or after it. That will unlock the final top and bottom rows to complete the ladder. New editions drop daily on LinkedIn — and you can sign up to be alerted in your notification settings.

So, after I had guessed all the words and reordered them, nothing happened. I figured one must be wrong. I used a hint and it said the last word was wrong. I couldn’t figure it out so I had to reveal half of it with hints. The reveal: exactly the same word I wrote before, letter by letter. What?
You plant seeds and grass grows. You don’t plant grass. 😏
‘Grans’ was pretty desperate - really couldn’t come up with something better than that?
Not sure why my brain just couldn’t get about half these clues today, and I’m normally a 1-minute solver! Took me over 3:44 today 😢
Crossclimb #243 | 1:39 Fill order: 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ 4️⃣ 5️⃣ ⬇️ ⬆️ 🪜 lnkd.in/crossclimb. I was very very surprised when I somehow guessed all 5 words basically first try despite them looking not related to one another, but I still tried to trust the process and was pretty happy to see it complete! Unfortunately I couldn't go under a minute because Crush stumped me and I ended up using 3 hints. I could only think of Smash but evidently that's slightly far from Crash.
Crossclimb #243 | 4:08 Fill order: 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ 4️⃣ 5️⃣ ⬆️ ⬇️ 🪜 lnkd.in/crossclimb. Wow!! I struggled with this one. Gross vs crass. Grams vs grans I thought grans would be both grandparents vs grams for just grandmothers. Had to use a reveal for crush. My mind refused to move past “smash”. Though clearly, that was wrong. Yep, I sucked today!! 😂
day 13 of complaining about this horrendous UI: 1. let us use our native keyboards 2. stop putting hints in the body of the clue text, i.e. the top and bottom words could be reversed - completely ruins the flow of reading the clue, and often distorts your weird mandatory keyboard, making some letters hard to press with my delicate sausage fingers.
Had gross for crass 😆
