21 linked answers, in play order with letter counts.
All 21 answers
Word Crossy Level 38,517 sits in the Clarity 1 pack and holds 21 words on the board, the longest being AXEXYXXXXXXXX at 13 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 AXEXYXXXXXXXX, which uses 4 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 AXEXYXXXXXXXX.
This level is in the 38,501–38,600 block, with level 38,516 and level 38,518 linked at the foot of the page.

How Word Crossy Works
The same three moves solve most Word Crossy puzzles, including this one.
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.
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.
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.
This chain has 21 links
Fill the answers you are sure of first — each confirmed link constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone.
Longest answer is AXEXYXXXXXXXX
At 13 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.
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.
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.
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.
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.
