How Level 489 Breaks Down
This is level 489 of Word Hike, titled "Make You Laugh", part of the Spain - Flamenco episode. It carries 26 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 12 letters, the longest being GENEROSITIES.
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 488 or level 490, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
