Word Crossy Level 20,162 sits in the Walnut pack and holds 17 words on the board, the longest being FIGURINE at 8 letters. That is around the usual size for Word Crossy, which means the grid will have several short answers threaded between the long ones.

Every answer on this level is built from the letters in FIGURINE, which uses 7 distinct letters. That is the fastest filter you have: a candidate containing anything outside that set cannot be an answer, however well it seems to fit the grid. Place the long word first and the crossings it fixes narrow everything else sharply.

This board has almost no short filler: every answer is at least four letters, so the level is carried by its longer words and there is little to fall back on if you stall. Work outward from FIGURINE.

This level is in the 20,101–20,200 block, with level 20,161 and level 20,163 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Word Crossy Works

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

1

Find the long word first

It uses the whole letter set and anchors the grid. Every other answer on the board is made from its letters, so placing it turns a search into a filter.

2

Count the empty run

A three-square gap has very few candidates. Matching the slot by length beats reading the word list from the top.

3

Re-use what you placed

Short answers are usually fragments of the long one. If you are stuck, look at the word you already solved rather than at the tiles.

Word Crossy Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 17 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 FIGURINE

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

3

The longest answer is the letter set

Anything containing a letter outside it is wrong before you check the grid. That single rule discards most guesses instantly.

4

Short words are where levels are lost

The long answers come easily. It is the three-letter fillers threaded between them that stall a board, because they are easy to look straight past.

5

Try the endings

Once a stem is down, test S, ED, ER and ING. A large share of missed answers are a word you already found wearing a suffix.

6

Work from the rare letter

If the set holds a J, Q, X, V or Z, build outward from it — very few words can use it, so it narrows the board faster than any vowel.
