How Level 290 Breaks Down
This is level 290 of Word Hike, titled "Don't Do This When Driving", part of the Greece - The Olympic Games episode. It carries 28 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 4 to 10 letters, the longest being SKYSCRAPER.
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 Greece - The Olympic Games episode covers 8 levels, numbered 286 to 293. Move to level 289 or level 291, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
