Word Craze Level 287 sits in the Thailand pack (levels 285-324) and packs 39 picture-and-trivia clues onto a single board. Every answer below is checked letter by letter against the current live version of the game, so the word you copy here is exactly what the app accepts. Solutions on this level run from 3 letters at the short end up to 11 letters at the long end, with DECONSTRUCT, SHORTMEMORY, WILLFERRELL and FINGERFOODS tied as the longest at 11 letters.
