Crossclimb #632 Answer – January 22, 2026
FOOTCARE
Answer
FOOTCARE
Combo Clue
“A two-word phrase describing actions that help with maintaining a part of the body like seeing a podiatrist or getting a pedicure”
📖 How I Solved It
I was really excited to tackle puzzle #632, but I hit a snag with the word ladder. The combo clue was pretty straightforward—FOOTCARE made sense right away, especially since I just got a pedicure last week! But when I got to the word 'WORD', I was completely thrown off. I thought it might be something more complex, so I tried guessing things like 'TERM' and 'TEXT'. I couldn't believe I was stuck on such a simple clue! Once I realized it was all about the parts of the clue phrase, it clicked into place. After that, the transition from 'CORD' to 'CARD' felt smooth, and I felt a rush of relief completing the ladder. Definitely a fun challenge overall!
