How Level 480 Breaks Down
This is level 480 of Word Hike, titled "Hibernators", part of the Korea - Seoul episode. It carries 42 clues, which is above the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 11 letters, the longest being RABBITSFOOT.
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 Korea - Seoul episode covers 8 levels, numbered 478 to 485. Move to level 479 or level 481, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
