Conquer today's LinkedIn CrossClimb puzzle with our complete walkthrough for Question ID 647, published on February 6, 2026. CrossClimb challenges you to build a word ladder by changing one letter at a time, connecting clues logically. We'll break down each hint, reveal the answers, show the perfect ladder arrangement, and solve the compound finale. Perfect for daily LinkedIn Games solvers!

Phase 1: Solving the Five Clues

In the first phase of CrossClimb by LinkedIn, guess the five words from their clues. Each fits perfectly as a four-letter word. Here's the reasoning:

• Hint 1: Building on a farm
  A classic farm structure for animals and storage. The word is BARN. (B-A-R-N)
• Hint 2: Not clothed
  Means naked or uncovered. Changes one letter from the previous: BARE. (B-A-R-E)
• Hint 3: “I couldn’t ___ less”
  Completes the idiom for total indifference: CARE. (C-A-R-E)
• Hint 4: ___ of Good Hope
  Famous landmark in South Africa, a geographic point: CAPE. (C-A-P-E)
• Hint 5: Deal with the stress of a challenging situation
  Means to manage or handle difficulties: COPE. (C-O-P-E)

Enter these words: BARN, BARE, CARE, CAPE, COPE. Now drag them into the ladder!

Phase 2: Building the Word Ladder

Rearrange using the = handles so each step differs by exactly one letter. The correct sequence from bottom to top is:

BARN
BARE
CARE
CAPE
COPE

Verify the changes:

• BARN → BARE: N → E (position 4)
• BARE → CARE: B → C (position 1)
• CARE → CAPE: R → P (position 3)
• CAPE → COPE: A → O (position 2)

This forms a flawless climbing ladder. Get this right to unlock Phase 3!

Phase 3: Compound Question Solution

Clue: Two words: the first is a spun thread used for sewing, and the second is a strong cord that can be made by twisting strands of the first word together.

Extend the ladder top and bottom:

• Top (above COPE): Spun thread for sewing is YARN. But wait—check the fit! Actually, position it correctly: from the ladder bottom.
• Bottom (below BARN): Strong cord from twisted threads is ROPE.

The full ladder becomes:

YARN  (Top Answer)
BARN
BARE
CARE
CAPE
COPE
ROPE  (Bottom Answer)

Key connections:

• YARN → BARN: Y → B (position 1)
• ROPE → BARN: Wait, no—ROPE connects via ladder logic, but primarily ROPE twists YARN into it, relating as compound concept (yarn rope).

YARN (spun thread) twists into ROPE (strong cord). Enter YARN at top, ROPE at bottom!

Quick Tips for Future CrossClimb Puzzles

• Always check one-letter changes precisely.
• Compound words often relate thematically (like thread to cord).
• Practice daily for LinkedIn Games streaks.
