How Level 116 Breaks Down
This is level 116 of Word Hike, titled "Has Wax On It", part of the Italy - Holy See episode. It carries 25 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being SURPRISING.
Word Hike builds every answer from a shared letter tray, so the tray constrains you as much as the clue does. On a level this size the practical order is to clear the short entries first — they use up the vowels and common consonants, and what remains in the tray narrows the long answers considerably. The clues themselves lean on everyday phrasing rather than crossword shorthand, so read them literally before looking for a trick.
The Italy - Holy See episode covers 8 levels, numbered 110 to 117. Move to level 115 or level 117, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
