How Level 197 Breaks Down
This is level 197 of Word Hike, titled "Sherlock Holmes", part of the England - Spock Sherrinford episode. It carries 20 clues, which is below the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 4 to 8 letters, the longest being SCISSORS.
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.
