How Level 1280 Breaks Down
This is level 1280 of Word Hike, titled "Can Be Used To Cut", part of the South Africa - Cradle Of Humankind episode. It carries 37 clues, which is right on the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being VETERINARY.
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 South Africa - Cradle Of Humankind episode covers 8 levels, numbered 1278 to 1285. Move to level 1279 or level 1281, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
