How Level 980 Breaks Down
This is level 980 of Word Hike, titled "Knitting", part of the Ireland - River Dance episode. It carries 38 clues, which is above the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 10 letters, the longest being YOURSELVES.
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 979 or level 981, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.

Anchor with the answers you are sure of
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
