How Level 26 Breaks Down
This is level 26 of Word Hike, titled "We Don't Want To Be Here Alone At Night", part of the USA - Mount Rushmore episode. It carries 18 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 9 letters, the longest being PROFESSOR.
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 - Mount Rushmore episode covers 8 levels, numbered 22 to 29. Move to level 25 or level 27, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
