Words of Wonders Level 7,169
Answers

Words of Wonders Level 7,169 belongs to Souq waqif in Qatar and holds 17 words on the board, the longest being THUMBS at 6 letters. That is a full board for this game, and boards this size usually hide two or three short answers that the long words step straight over.

Every answer here is built from the letters in THUMBS, 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.

7 of the 17 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 Souq waqif use the same landmark but a different letter set, so answers do not carry across. This level is in the 7,101–7,200 block, with level 7,168 and level 7,170 linked at the foot of the page.
