How Level 88 Breaks Down
This is level 88 of Word Hike, titled "Put It Close To Our Ears And Listen", part of the Italy - Campanile episode. It carries 25 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 4 to 9 letters, the longest being NIGHTMARE.
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 Italy - Campanile episode covers 8 levels, numbered 86 to 93. Move to level 87 or level 89, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
