How Level 396 Breaks Down
This is level 396 of Word Hike, titled "With Water", part of the Canada - Province of Quebec episode. It carries 39 clues, which is above the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 11 letters, the longest being SHAKESPEARE.
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 Canada - Province of Quebec episode covers 8 levels, numbered 390 to 397. Move to level 395 or level 397, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.

Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
