Word Craze Level 817 sits in the South Africa pack (levels 805-864) and packs 34 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 5 letters at the short end up to 12 letters at the long end, with SHOWBUSINESS and BEANIEBABIES tied as the longest at 12 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 817 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.
