How Level 979 Breaks Down
This is level 979 of Word Hike, titled "Shining Things", part of the Ireland - River Dance episode. It carries 25 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being DRESSCODES.
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 - River Dance episode covers 8 levels, numbered 974 to 981. Move to level 978 or level 980, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
