How Level 3897 Breaks Down
This is level 3897 of Word Hike, titled "Topless", part of the Columbia - Bandeja Paisa episode. It carries 28 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 9 letters, the longest being MAELSTROM.
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 Columbia - Bandeja Paisa episode covers 8 levels, numbered 3894 to 3901. Move to level 3896 or level 3898, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
