Word Hike Level 5,478 sits in Switzerland - Montreux Jazz Festival and holds 36 clues, the longest answer being APPLAUD at 7 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.

There are 4 very short answers threaded between the longer ones here. Those are the ones most often left unfilled — count the empty squares in a run rather than scanning the whole board again.

This level sits in the 5,401–5,500 block, with level 5,477 and level 5,479 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Word Hike Works

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

1

Search the clue

Find the exact wording you are stuck on. Clues identify a line; answers repeat across the game and do not.

2

Fill the crossings

Long answers are more constrained than short ones. A few intersecting letters usually settle the word before the clue does.

3

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.

1

This chain has 36 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 APPLAUD

At 7 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

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.

4

Letter counts separate similar clues

Where two clues read alike, the answer length tells them apart instantly. Every answer here carries its count.

5

Long slots are the easy ones

More squares means more crossings and fewer candidates. Start with the longest empty answer rather than the shortest.

6

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.
