Words of Wonders Level 2,181
Answers

Words of Wonders Level 2,181 belongs to St.john's co-cathedral in Malta and holds 10 words on the board, the longest being CRANKY at 6 letters. That is about average, which means the grid will mix one or two long answers with a handful of three and four letter words.

Every answer here is built from the letters in CRANKY, which uses 6 distinct letters. In Words of Wonders the longest word always uses the whole set, so placing it first turns the rest of the board from a search into a filter — anything containing a letter outside that set cannot be an answer.

6 of the 10 answers run to three letters or fewer, which is where levels like this stall. The long words go in quickly; it is the short ones filling the gaps between them that get missed, because they are easy to read past on a crowded grid.

Other levels at St.john's co-cathedral use the same landmark but a different letter set, so answers do not carry across. This level is in the 2,101–2,200 block, with level 2,180 and level 2,182 linked at the foot of the page.
