Game of Words Level 9,385 sits in Levels 9001-9500 and holds 13 words, the longest answer being DEAFENED at 8 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.

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 DEAFENED and use the crossings it fixes.

This level sits in the 9,301–9,400 block, with level 9,384 and level 9,386 linked at the foot of the page.

Game of Words Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 13 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 DEAFENED

At 8 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

Confirm before you trust the number

With eleven thousand levels it is easy to be a screen off. The longest answer on the page is the quickest check.

4

Later sets are longer

The letter sets grow through the game, so a level that feels unusually hard may simply be further in than you thought.

5

Endings are free answers

S, ED, ER and ING on a placed stem regularly account for several of the words still missing.

6

Short words are the blockers

Long answers come first and easily. It is the three-letter words filling the gaps that hold a board open.
