How Level 226 Breaks Down
This is level 226 of Word Hike, titled "Crafty Rodent", part of the Germany - Fahrzeug episode. It carries 24 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 4 to 9 letters, the longest being ORCHESTRA.
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 Germany - Fahrzeug episode covers 8 levels, numbered 222 to 229. Move to level 225 or level 227, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
