How Level 5016 Breaks Down
This is level 5016 of Word Hike, titled "It Might Be Shallow", part of the Luxembourg - Cuisine episode. It carries 38 clues, which is above the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being HELLSBELLS.
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 Luxembourg - Cuisine episode covers 8 levels, numbered 5014 to 5021. Move to level 5015 or level 5017, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
