Word Craze Level 1,297 contains 42 clues, each listed below with its answer and letter count. The longest answer is SMITHTITANIC at 12 letters.
Word Craze is a clue game rather than a letter game, so the useful thing is the clue text itself — find the exact line you are stuck on rather than reading a bare word list. Answers share the board, so a word you have already solved gives you letters in the ones you have not.
This level sits in the main run. Word Craze numbers its game modes in separate bands, so a jump in the numbering is not a missing level. The 1,201–1,300 block lists every level around this one.

How Word Craze Works
The same three moves solve most Word Craze puzzles, including this one.
Read the letter count
Each answer slot shows its length. That alone rules out most candidate words before you think about the clue.
Solve the clues you know
Answers share the board, so a confirmed word gives you letters in the ones you have not cracked.
Work the crossings
A half-filled slot with two fixed letters is far easier than an empty one. Fill outward from what you already have.
Word Craze Tips & Strategy
Starting with what this particular level teaches you.
This level has 42 clues
Every clue is listed below with its answer and letter count. Find the single line you are stuck on rather than reading the whole set.
Longest answer is SMITHTITANIC
At 12 letters it is the most constrained slot here, which usually makes it the easiest to place first.
Match the length first
Every answer here shows how many letters it has. If your idea is the wrong length it is wrong, however well it fits the clue.
Clues repeat across levels
Word Craze reuses phrasing. If a clue looks familiar you have probably met it before — searching the clue text often finds it faster than browsing the level.
Mind the bands
Levels jump from the main run to blocks at 15,000, 20,001 and 25,001. Those are different game modes, not missing levels — check which band your number falls in.
Think category, not synonym
Many clues point at a category rather than a direct synonym: "Pouring aid" is FUNNEL, not a word meaning pour.
