Words of Wonders Level 8,436
Answers

Words of Wonders Level 8,436 belongs to Tikal in Guatemala and holds 8 words on the board, the longest being NICHE at 5 letters. A short board, so every answer matters — placing one fixes the crossings for most of the rest.

Every answer here is built from the letters in NICHE, which uses 5 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.

There are 2 short answers threaded between the longer ones here. Count the empty squares in a run rather than re-reading the tiles — a two or three square gap has very few possible fills, and matching by length is faster than matching by meaning.

Other levels at Tikal use the same landmark but a different letter set, so answers do not carry across. This level is in the 8,401–8,500 block, with level 8,435 and level 8,437 linked at the foot of the page.
