How Level 5521 Breaks Down
This is level 5521 of Word Hike, titled "Foods Starting With ‘W’", part of the Switzerland - Birth of the Red Cross episode. It carries 36 clues, which is right on the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 11 letters, the longest being TAKETIMEOFF.
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.
