How Level 971 Breaks Down
This is level 971 of Word Hike, titled "Rare And Mysterious", part of the Ireland - Leprechaun episode. It carries 32 clues, which is right on the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being WINDSHIELD.
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 Ireland - Leprechaun episode covers 8 levels, numbered 966 to 973. Move to level 970 or level 972, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
