Wordscapes Level 88,018 is built from the tiles EXPLORE and holds 17 words on the board, the longest being EXPLORE at 7 letters. That is a crowded grid by this game's standards — boards this full are usually solved by exhausting one letter at a time rather than hunting words at random.

Every answer here is at least four letters, which makes this level harder than its size suggests — there are no easy three-letter fillers to open the grid with. Work from EXPLORE and use its crossings, because nothing shorter is coming to help.

The set contains a X, which appears in very few English words. That makes it the best anchor on the board: work out which answer can use it and you have usually placed the hardest word on the level in one move.

This level is in the 88,001–88,100 block, with level 88,017 and level 88,019 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 17 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 EXPLORE

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.
