Word Hike Level 1,397 sits in Sweden - Birgit Nilsson and holds 54 clues, the longest answer being FLEAMARKETS at 11 letters. That is a large board — levels this full are worked one letter at a time rather than by hunting whole answers, and the list below is easier to scan by length than to read straight through.
This is a clue game, so the useful thing on this page is the clue text itself. If you are stuck on one line, find that exact wording in the table below rather than reading a bare list of answers — clues identify a puzzle far more reliably than answers do, because answers repeat across a game and clues rarely do.
20 of the 54 answers run to three letters or fewer, which is where levels like this are usually lost. The long answers go in quickly; it is the short ones filling the gaps between them that get missed, because they are easy to read straight past.
This level sits in the 1,301–1,400 block, with level 1,396 and level 1,398 linked at the foot of the page.

How Word Hike Works
The same three moves solve most Word Hike puzzles, including this one.
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
Starting with what this particular level teaches you.
This chain has 54 links
Fill the answers you are sure of first — each confirmed link constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone.
Longest answer is FLEAMARKETS
At 11 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.
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.
