Featured Crossclimb boards
A curated set of 45, named and sorted from gentle to punishing. 0 / 45 solved
Why a set list instead of random boards
Unlimited mode hands you a fresh board whenever you want one, which is perfect for a quick session. This list is for people who would rather work through something with a beginning and an end. Each board has a name, the set runs from easy to hard, and the counter at the top keeps score of how far you have got.

How the difficulty is set
What sets the difficulty is how many near misses the rungs have. A word like CAKE sits one letter from a dozen others, so a ladder built from words like that offers far more wrong turns while you are putting the rows in order. Easy ladders use words with fewer neighbours, hard ones use the busiest words in the list. Every ladder, at every level, has only one way to order its middle five.
