How Level 285 Breaks Down
This is level 285 of Word Hike, titled "Do You Know Your Signs", part of the Egypt - Egyptian Gods episode. It carries 35 clues, which is right on the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being PUNISHMENT.
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 Egypt - Egyptian Gods episode covers 8 levels, numbered 278 to 285. Move to level 284 or level 286, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
