How Level 272 Breaks Down
This is level 272 of Word Hike, titled "You Measure With It", part of the Egypt - Father of Terror episode. It carries 35 clues, which is right on the game-wide average of 33. Answers range from 3 to 11 letters, the longest being THERMOMETER.
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 Egypt - Father of Terror episode covers 8 levels, numbered 270 to 277. Move to level 271 or level 273, or go back to the Word Hike hub, which indexes 5,749 levels and 719 episodes.
