Wordscapes Level 71,239 is built from the tiles ILLICIT and holds 6 words on the board, the longest being ILLICIT at 7 letters. A short board, so each answer carries a lot of weight: one word placed here changes the crossings for almost everything else.

There are 3 very short answers here alongside the longer ones. Those are the ones most often missed — they fill the awkward two- and three-square runs that the big words leave behind, so count the empty squares rather than re-reading the tiles.

Note that ILLICIT repeats a letter, so a single answer may use that tile twice. This is the most common reason a correct word gets ruled out early — players assume each tile is single-use and discard the answer before trying it.

This level is in the 71,201–71,300 block, with level 71,238 and level 71,240 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Wordscapes Works

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

1

Start from the tile set

Every answer uses only these letters. A candidate containing anything outside the set is wrong before you check the grid, which kills most guesses instantly.

2

Place the longest word

It often uses the whole set and fixes several crossings at once. With it down, the remaining slots are far more constrained than they look.

3

Work the crossings, not the list

Most missed answers are short words sitting across a long one. Count the empty squares in a run and look for an answer of that exact length.

Wordscapes Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 6 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 ILLICIT

At 7 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

Match the slot by length first

Every answer on this site shows its letter count. Counting the empty squares and looking for that length beats reading an alphabetical list from the top, every time.

4

A repeated tile can be used twice

If the set shows the same letter twice, a single answer may use it twice. Players routinely rule out the correct word because they assumed each tile was single-use.

5

Bonus words fill no squares

If the game accepted your word but nothing appeared on the grid, it was a bonus word. They earn coins and are listed separately on every level page here.

6

Prefixes and suffixes are the quiet wins

Once a stem is placed, test it with S, ED, ER and ING. A large share of missed answers are just a word you already found wearing an ending.
