CodyCross Group 173 belongs to the Fauna and Flora world and contains 78 clues across its five puzzles, each listed below with its answer and letter count. The longest answer is RIVER KWAI at 10 letters. That is a long group even for CodyCross — worth working puzzle by puzzle rather than scanning the whole list.

CodyCross is a clue game rather than a letter game, so the useful thing on this page is the clue text itself. If you are stuck on a single line, find that exact wording in the table below rather than reading a bare list of answers — the words around it are what confirm you are on the right puzzle, since answers repeat across the game far more often than clues do.

Answers average 7.5 letters across this group — mid-length, where the clue and the crossings carry roughly equal weight. Work whichever you have more of.

This group sits in the 101–200 block, with group 172 and group 174 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How CodyCross Works

The same three moves solve most CodyCross puzzles, including this one.

1

Search the clue, not the answer

CodyCross repeats answers across worlds but rarely repeats a clue. The wording is what pins down which line you are on.

2

Fill the crossings first

Long answers are more constrained than short ones. With a few intersecting letters the grid usually decides the word before the clue does.

3

Check the world

Every group page names its world. If it does not match the one on your screen, you have the wrong group number.

CodyCross Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular group teaches you.

1

This chain has 78 links

Fill the answers you are sure of first — each confirmed link constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone.

2

Longest answer is RIVER KWAI

At 10 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

The clue identifies the line

Answers repeat throughout CodyCross; clues almost never do. Match the exact wording and you can be certain you are on the right puzzle.

4

Letter counts split near-identical clues

Where two clues read similarly, the answer length separates them instantly. Every answer here carries its count.

5

Long answers are the easy ones

More squares means more crossings and fewer possible words. If a group is fighting you, start with its longest slot rather than its shortest.

6

Work the group, not the puzzle

Puzzles inside a group share a theme. A clue that makes no sense alone often becomes obvious once you have read the others on the same group page.
