Word City Level 396 is built from the letters DELOV and holds 11 words. The longest is DEVOLVE.

The letter set is the fastest filter you have: any word containing a letter outside DELOV cannot be an answer, however well it seems to fit. Check your candidate against the set before anything else.

Every answer is listed with its length, so matching the empty slot by letter count is quicker than reading the list. The 301–400 block lists the levels around this one.

How to play

How Word City Works

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

1

Read the letter set

Every answer uses only these letters. Anything outside the set is impossible.

2

Build from the longest

The longest word usually uses the whole set and contains several shorter answers inside it.

3

Sweep the short words

Two and three letter answers are easy to overlook and are usually what is blocking completion.

Word City Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

Only DELOV is allowed

Every answer uses only these letters. A candidate containing anything outside the set is wrong before you check the board.

2

Longest answer is DEVOLVE

It uses most of the set, and the shorter answers are usually rearrangements of part of it.

3

The letter set is the filter

Check your candidate against the set before anything else. A single letter outside it rules the word out completely.

4

Longest answer anchors the level

Find the word that uses the whole set first — the rest are usually rearrangements of part of it.

5

Letters can repeat

Where the set shows a letter twice, it can be used twice. Doubles open up words people miss.

6

Count before you guess

Every answer here shows its letter count. Match it against the slot and most candidates disappear.
