Answer

CLIMB

This word describes the action of moving upward using hands and feet, or ascending to a higher position. It comes from Old English 'climban' and has been used in English for over a thousand years. The word can be used both literally, as in climbing a rock wall, and figuratively, as in climbing the corporate ladder.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the letter combination MB at the end, where the B is silent when speaking. Words ending in silent letters can be tricky because they are less intuitive. If you suspect a word might have this pattern, try guessing words like THUMB or DUMB to test for that ending.
