How Level 685 Breaks Down
This is level 685 of Word Hike, titled "Things That Doctors Tell Us To Avoid", part of the Norway - Viking Heritage episode. It carries 40 clues, which is above the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 11 letters, the longest being ASSOCIATION.
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 Norway - Viking Heritage episode covers 8 levels, numbered 678 to 685. Move to level 684 or level 686, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
