How Level 861 Breaks Down
This is level 861 of Word Hike, titled "Words Frequently Used In Love Songs", part of the Brazil - Rio de Janeiro episode. It carries 49 clues, which is above the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 9 letters, the longest being OLDSCHOOL.
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 Brazil - Rio de Janeiro episode covers 8 levels, numbered 854 to 861. Move to level 860 or level 862, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
