Connect Word International Dog Day Level 22 Answers
152 words across 35 categories in 3 stages — above the International Dog Day pack average of 33 categories per level.
International Dog Day Level 22 — Complete Answer Guide
This page lists every answer for level 22 of Connect Word's International Dog Day pack, one of 7 limited-run event modes. The board holds 152 words in 35 categories, split across 3 stages that unlock in order: Colors, Optics, Lighting, Orthodontist, Currencies and 30 more.
Event boards play like the Daily Challenge rather than like the numbered ladder — several stages deep, with general-knowledge categories rather than anything tied to the pack's name. The category sizes are the practical difference: here they run from 4 to 5 words, most often 4, where every category in the numbered game holds exactly five. Watch the 25 multi-word entries too — phrases like Aurora Australis are where a category looks one short.
Numbering restarts inside each pack, so this is not level 22 of the main 4,600-level ladder. Step to level 21 or level 23 of International Dog Day, return to the pack index, or work the daily archive of 607 dated boards.

3 Tips for International Dog Day Level 22
Category sizes run 4 to 5, not a flat five
This is the trap for anyone arriving from the numbered ladder, where every category holds exactly five. On this board they run from 4 to 5 words — 23 of the 35 categories hold 4. Read the empty slots the game draws or you will abandon a theme one answer early.
Stages gate each other — solve top down
Level 22 runs 3 stages and the next never opens until the current one clears, so scanning ahead earns nothing. Stage 1 alone holds 9 categories. This page keeps the game's own stage order for exactly that reason.
Expect 25 multi-word entries
Level 22 carries 25 phrase answers — entries like Aurora Australis. When a category sits one short, the gap is usually two words you have been reading as one. The full International Dog Day pack runs 24 levels, 30–36 categories a board and 3,282 words.

How we verify International Dog Day level 22
The 152 words on this page were captured from the International Dog Day pack while it was live and are stored stage by stage and category by category in the game's own order, not retyped. A level publishes only when its whole board parses cleanly, so the 35 categories here are 35 complete themes and no answer is counted twice.

How to Solve a Connect Word Board
Three habits that clear any Connect Word board, whichever mode you are in.
Read every category name first
The category names are the only clue the game gives you, and reading all of them before you touch a tile rules out most of the dictionary. A narrow theme pins its answers far harder than a broad one, which makes it the cheapest place to start.
Count the slots, do not count to five
Every category in the numbered levels holds exactly five words, so five means finished. The daily and event boards do not follow that rule — their categories hold four or five. Read the empty slots the board draws or you will abandon a theme one answer early.
Expect phrases, not just words
Roughly one Connect Word answer in six is two words rather than one. When a category sits one short, the gap is usually a phrase you have been reading as a single word.
