This is level 3686 of Word Hike, titled "Paving Material", part of the Indonesia - Lake Kelimutu episode. It carries 18 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 9 letters, the longest being ELECTRONS.
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 Indonesia - Lake Kelimutu episode covers 8 levels, numbered 3686 to 3693. Move to level 3685 or level 3687, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
