How Level 440 Breaks Down
This is level 440 of Word Hike, titled "String Instrument", part of the Japan - Tokyo Tower episode. It carries 36 clues, which is right on the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being CALCULATOR.
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 Japan - Tokyo Tower episode covers 8 levels, numbered 438 to 445. Move to level 439 or level 441, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
