How Level 16 Breaks Down
This is level 16 of Word Hike, titled "Word Of Courtesy", part of the USA - The City episode. It carries 23 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 9 letters, the longest being SPARKLING.
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 USA - The City episode covers 8 levels, numbered 14 to 21. Move to level 15 or level 17, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
