Word Crossy Level 24,896 sits in the Pleased pack and holds 18 words on the board, the longest being SLASHER at 7 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 SLASHER, which uses 6 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.

There are 5 very short answers here alongside the longer ones, and they are the ones most often missed. Count the empty squares in a run rather than re-reading the letters — a two or three square gap has very few candidates.

This level is in the 24,801–24,900 block, with level 24,895 and level 24,897 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 18 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 SLASHER

At 7 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.
