Word Hike Answers
Clue-led crossword levels grouped into themed hikes.
Word Hike Answers Explained
Word Hike is a crossword game rather than a letter game: each level gives you clues and a grid, and levels are collected into themed hikes. This archive holds 5,749 levels and 187,768 clues, every one listed with its answer and letter count.
Because it runs on clues, the clue text is what identifies a line — far more reliably than the answer, which repeats across the game. Each level page here leads with the full clue table rather than a bare word list, so you can find the exact line you are stuck on instead of scanning for a word you have not worked out yet.
Levels are grouped into blocks of one hundred, and each page links to the levels either side of it and names the hike it belongs to. If the theme on the page does not match the one on your screen, you have the wrong level number.

How Word Hike Works
The three moves that solve most puzzles in this game.
Search the clue
Find the exact wording you are stuck on. Clues identify a line; answers repeat across the game and do not.
Fill the crossings
Long answers are more constrained than short ones. A few intersecting letters usually settle the word before the clue does.
Use the theme
Each hike has a subject, and it shapes the vocabulary even where the clue does not say so.
Word Hike Tips & Strategy
Six things that make the difference between stuck and solved.
The clue is the identifier
Answers repeat throughout Word Hike; the clue wording rarely does. Match the exact line and you can be certain you are on the right level.
Letter counts separate similar clues
Where two clues read alike, the answer length tells them apart instantly. Every answer here carries its count.
Long slots are the easy ones
More squares means more crossings and fewer candidates. Start with the longest empty answer rather than the shortest.
Read the whole level
Clues in one hike share a theme, so a line that makes no sense alone often resolves once you have read the others on the same level page.
Watch the tense and number
A clue in the plural wants a plural answer. A single letter is the commonest reason a correct guess is refused.
Bonus words are not clue answers
Extra words the game accepts do not appear in the clue table, because mixing them in would make the answer list wrong.

How this Word Hike archive is put together
Every Word Hike puzzle on this site is imported from a structured source record rather than transcribed from a screenshot or copied from another answers page. On import each record is validated before it is allowed through: a puzzle missing its core data is left out of the archive instead of being published incomplete. That is why the count reads 5,749 rather than a rounder marketing number.
The archive is maintained by the Solved Archive editorial team, who play these games and use these pages themselves. Because Word Hike has a fixed catalogue that does not change once complete, this archive is finished rather than growing — all 5,749 levels are present. If you spot anything wrong, tell us via the contact page with the puzzle number and we can trace it straight back to its source record. Our full process is written up on the method page.
Solved Archive is an independent fan resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Joy Vendor or any game developer. Game names and trademarks belong to their respective owners, and this archive exists to help players who are stuck, not to replace the game.
