Crossword Quest Level 400 sits in Levels 1-500 and holds 16 words, the longest answer being SIMPLE at 6 letters. That is a substantial board, enough that checking off what you already have is faster than re-reading the whole list.

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.

This level has almost no short filler, so it is carried by its longer answers and there is little quick to open it with. Work outward from SIMPLE and use the crossings it fixes.

This level sits in the 301–400 block, with level 399 and level 401 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Crossword Quest Works

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

1

Take the set literally

Any word using a letter from outside it is wrong before you check the grid.

2

Work each length in turn

Short sets can be exhausted. Sweeping all three-letter options beats waiting for inspiration.

3

Anchor the longest

It uses most of the set and its crossings narrow whatever is still open.

Crossword Quest Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 16 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 SIMPLE

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

3

Compact boards reward system

With a short set you can genuinely work through the possibilities. Take the lengths in order instead of free-associating.

4

The longest answer shows the set

Every level page leads with it, so the letters are visible even though the game shows a ring.

5

Try the plural on everything

Adding S frequently yields another accepted answer, and on small boards those extras are a large share of the total.

6

Match the gap by counting

Counting empty squares narrows a slot faster than thinking about meaning. Every answer on a level page carries its length.
