Crossword Jam Level 1,586 sits in Chile and holds 9 words, the longest answer being BLIGHT at 6 letters. A mid-sized level, where each answer placed meaningfully constrains the ones still open.

Every answer below carries its letter count, which is the fastest way to match an empty slot: counting the squares in a gap and scanning for that exact length beats reading the list from the top. Answers are listed in the order the game accepts them, so the page reads the way the level plays.

There are 4 very short answers threaded between the longer ones here. Those are the ones most often left unfilled — count the empty squares in a run rather than scanning the whole board again.

This level sits in the 1,501–1,600 block, with level 1,585 and level 1,587 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Crossword Jam Works

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

1

Place the longest word

It uses the whole set and anchors the grid, fixing crossings that narrow everything else.

2

Count the empty run

A three-square gap has very few candidates. Match by length before thinking about meaning.

3

Reuse what you placed

Short answers are usually fragments of the long one. Look at what you have already solved rather than at the tiles.

Crossword Jam Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 9 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 BLIGHT

At 6 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

The long answer is the letter set

Every other word is built from its letters. That single fact discards most candidates without looking at the board.

4

Short words finish levels

The long answers come easily; the three-letter fillers threaded between them are what stall a grid, because they are easy to read past.

5

Test the endings

S, ED, ER and ING turn one solved answer into two or three more. It is the quickest way to unstick a board.

6

Build from the rare letter

A J, Q, X, V or Z narrows the field faster than any vowel. Work out where it can go first.
