How Level 488 Breaks Down
This is level 488 of Word Hike, titled "It'S Flat", part of the Spain - Flamenco episode. It carries 26 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 11 letters, the longest being REGENERATES.
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 Spain - Flamenco episode covers 8 levels, numbered 486 to 493. Move to level 487 or level 489, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
