Solitaire Associations Level 2,697 contains 24 linked answers, listed below in play order with the letter count beside each one. The longest is GREAT GATE.

Because the answers form a chain, one missing word blocks everything after it. If you are stuck on a single slot, match the letter count first — that rules out most candidates without needing to work out the association at all. Reading the answers either side of the gap usually reveals the theme the level is built around.

This level sits in the 2,601–2,700 block, and the levels immediately before and after it are linked at the foot of this page so you can keep moving without returning to the index.

How to play

How Solitaire Associations Works

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

1

Read the whole chain

Each answer links to the next. Reading the surrounding answers often reveals the one you are missing.

2

Match the letter count

Every answer here shows its length. Comparing that against the empty slot rules out most candidates instantly.

3

Fill outward from what you know

Anchor the answers you are sure of, then work outward — the associations narrow sharply once both neighbours are fixed.

Solitaire Associations Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 24 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 GREAT GATE

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

3

Anchor the ones you know

Fill every answer you are confident about first. Associations are chained, so a confirmed answer constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone does.

4

Let the length do the work

Every entry in this archive carries its letter count. If your guess is the wrong length, it is wrong — no need to second-guess the association.

5

Think category, not synonym

Associations here are frequently category links rather than synonyms. If a direct synonym is not landing, ask what group the words belong to instead.

6

Read the neighbours

The answer either side of a blank usually shares a theme with it. Scanning the full level list is often faster than staring at the single clue.
