How Level 317 Breaks Down
This is level 317 of Word Hike, titled "Come in Pairs", part of the Greece - Parthenon 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 CHOPSTICKS.
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 - Parthenon episode covers 8 levels, numbered 310 to 317. Move to level 316 or level 318, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
