Word Craze Level 9,897 contains 36 clues, each listed below with its answer and letter count. The longest answer is GIVETHANKS at 10 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 9,801–9,900 block lists every level around this one.

How to play

How Word Craze Works

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

1

Read the letter count

Each answer slot shows its length. That alone rules out most candidate words before you think about the clue.

2

Solve the clues you know

Answers share the board, so a confirmed word gives you letters in the ones you have not cracked.

3

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.

1

This level has 36 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.

2

Longest answer is GIVETHANKS

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

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Think category, not synonym

Many clues point at a category rather than a direct synonym: "Pouring aid" is FUNNEL, not a word meaning pour.
