CodyCross fixes the length of every row before you type, and the game reuses the same clue wording in different worlds with entirely different solutions — so a clue that looks identical to one you have already solved may want a different word here. If your grid shows a different number of squares than the 7 above, you are almost certainly on the same clue from another world.
