Word Search Journey Level 240 sits in Levels 201-300 and holds 18 words, the longest answer being CRIMINAL at 8 letters. That is a substantial board, enough that checking off what you already have is faster than re-reading the whole list.

Every answer below carries its letter count, which is the fastest way to match an empty slot: counting the squares in a gap and scanning for that exact length beats reading the list from the top. Answers are listed in the order the game accepts them, so the page reads the way the level plays.

There are 3 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 201–300 block, with level 239 and level 241 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Word Search Journey Works

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

▤1

Find the longest word

It uses most of the letters and anchors everything else on the board.

⌕2

Sweep the short words

Three and four letter words fill in fast once the long one is placed.

✓3

Only these letters count

Any candidate containing a letter outside the set is wrong before you check it.

Word Search Journey Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular puzzle 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 CRIMINAL

At 8 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

Place the longest word first

It uses most of the letter set, and once it is down the crossings do much of the rest.

4

Check the letter count

Every answer shows its length, so a guess of the wrong size is ruled out immediately.

5

Sweep the short words

Most levels are mostly three and four letter answers; clearing them is quick progress.

6

Watch for plurals

Adding S to a word you already found is one of the commonest missed answers.
