Sky Words Level 861 - Complete Answer Guide

Every word on this page has been confirmed from live game data so you will never get a wrong answer here.
The key to beating Level 861 is placement order. Place SALARY first — at 6 letters it is the longest word and reveals the most crossing tiles for the shorter entries. Once you have the longest word locked in, each crossing tile you reveal narrows down the remaining slots and the shorter words fall into place almost automatically.

3 Tips for Sky Words Level 861
Place SALARY first — every time
Level 861 has 6 words and the longest is SALARY at 6 letters. Drop it on the board first. Every crossing tile it reveals reduces the candidate list for shorter words dramatically — usually turning them into instant fills.
Every tile in AALRSY is reusable
All 6 words are built from just 6 tiles — AALRSY — and each letter can appear in as many words as needed. No single-use restrictions. If a word seems impossible, you are not missing tiles — check the crossing positions instead.
You are in the The Netherlands world
Level 861 is part of the The Netherlands world (levels 801–880). Difficulty climbs gradually within this world — nearby levels share similar letter patterns, so if you are stuck here, glancing at an adjacent level’s tile set often hints at what words are in scope.
How to Solve Sky Words Level 861
The three moves that clear a Sky Words board, applied to this one.
Read the tile set before you swipe
Level 861 gives you the tiles AALRSY, and every answer is built from them — letters may be reused across words, but nothing outside the set can appear. Counting the tiles first rules out most of what comes to mind and is faster than guessing.
Place the longest word first
The longest answer runs to 6 letters and the shortest to 3. Placing the long one first consumes the awkward tiles and leaves the rest of the board far easier to read.
Use the world for context
Level 861 sits in The Netherlands, world 12 of 30, covering levels 801–880. Difficulty climbs gradually inside a world, so a neighbouring level is the most useful hint when this one stalls.
