How Level 1285 Breaks Down
This is level 1285 of Word Hike, titled "May Have Stripes", part of the South Africa - Cradle Of Humankind episode. It carries 52 clues, which is above the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 9 letters, the longest being TOOTHPICK.
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.
