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 India - Bengal tiger episode covers 8 levels, numbered 950 to 957. Move to level 951 or level 953, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
