Word Craze Level 161 answers are listed in full below. This level sits in the Australia pack (levels 125-164) and packs 29 picture-and-trivia clues onto a single board. Every answer below is drawn from the game’s own level data and laid out clue by clue, so you can scan straight to the one you need. Solutions run from 5 letters at the short end up to 10 letters at the long end, with NEGOTIABLE, POLITICIAN, RESTAURANT and PERCUSSION tied as the longest at 10 letters. Because Word Craze mixes photo puzzles, fill-in-the-blank song lyrics, and straight trivia, a single board can swing from easy to tough in a few taps, which is why having the full solved list in front of you protects your streak.
The quickest route through Level 161 is to lock in the longest words first: every long answer you place drops shared letters into the shorter crossing entries, which then almost fill themselves. Use the All Clues and Answers table to jump straight to the clue that has you stuck, tap Copy to grab the word without a typo, then open the Word-by-Word Breakdown when you want the exact letter pattern behind a solution.

Jump to level
These five habits work on every level in Ann's Journey and the Endless Challenge — apply them here and carry them through every board that follows.
Start with the longest answer and build outward. The longest word on any board crosses more entries than any other. Placing it first drops the maximum number of letters into shorter answers, often reducing two or three other clues to a single valid candidate before you even read them. The breakdown table on this page shows each answer's tile count.
Read the text clue and the image together, not in sequence. Each Word Craze clue pairs a written description with a picture. The text specifies the property the answer covers; the image names the subject. Reading both simultaneously is faster than going back to the image after the text fails to trigger an answer.
Count the blank tiles before typing anything. A four-letter guess in a five-letter slot is always wrong regardless of how logical it seems. Count the row before committing — it takes two seconds and eliminates the most common single-board mistake.
Use the Copy button on any answer you are pasting. Mistyping a correct answer because of a capitalisation issue or a stray space is frustrating and unnecessary. The Copy buttons in the answer table above grab the exact verified string — paste and move on.
Navigate to nearby levels from the level pills below. If you cleared this level and want to continue, use the nearby level pills rather than going back to the Level Browser. They link directly to the previous and next levels in the same pack, keeping you in the flow without losing your place.
Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
