How Level 2979 Breaks Down
This is level 2979 of Word Hike, titled "On The Doorstep", part of the Mexico - Frida Kahlo episode. It carries 27 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being PENALTYBOX.
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 Mexico - Frida Kahlo episode covers 8 levels, numbered 2974 to 2981. Move to level 2978 or level 2980, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
