How Level 170 Breaks Down
This is level 170 of Word Hike, titled "Sour Thing", part of the England - The Great Bell episode. It carries 24 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 4 to 12 letters, the longest being SURVEILLANCE.
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 England - The Great Bell episode covers 8 levels, numbered 166 to 173. Move to level 169 or level 171, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
