Word Tiles Level 1,485 is themed around It flies and asks for 13 words that fit it. The longest is PARACHUTE at 9 letters, the shortest FLY at 3.

The theme is the part of this level that actually does the work. A board of loose tiles could spell hundreds of things, but only words belonging to It flies are accepted, which usually cuts the candidates down to a handful. If you are stuck with one slot open, naming members of the theme out loud is faster than rearranging tiles.

The answers here range from 3 letters up to 9, which is a wide spread. The long word is the one to place first because it fixes most of the board, and the short ones are the ones most often left behind.

This level sits in the 1,401-1,500 block, with level 1,484 and level 1,486 linked at the foot of the page, so you can keep moving without returning to the index.

How to play

How Word Tiles Works

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

▤1

Read the theme first

Every word on the board belongs to the stated theme, so the theme rules out most of what the letters could otherwise spell.

⌕2

Say the category aloud

Naming five things in the theme before touching a tile usually surfaces two of the answers outright.

✓3

Match length to theme

Once you know the theme and the letter count, the number of words that fit both is very small.

Word Tiles Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular puzzle teaches you.

1

The theme is It flies

Every accepted word on this board belongs to It flies. Reading the theme before the tiles rules out most of what the letters could otherwise spell.

2

Start with PARACHUTE

At 9 letters it is the longest answer here, so it uses most of the board and leaves far less room for the rest to hide in.

3

The theme does most of the work

A board of loose letters is hard; a board of loose letters that must spell body parts is not. Read the theme before the tiles.

4

List the obvious members first

Most themes have three or four members almost everyone thinks of, and those are usually the answers.

5

Use the letter count

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

6

Themes repeat their vocabulary

Words met in one themed level often reappear in a related one later, so a word you learned is rarely wasted.
