Escape Room Level 78
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 78 follows the standard Escape Room: Mystery Word room layout: a closed door ahead, a wall-mounted letter keypad beside it, and one or two clue props arranged around the room that point to a single English password word. The top bar shows the level number and the running coin balance, and there is no timer pressure. The target for this level is the 7-letter word POLLUTE, to make air, water, or soil dirty and harmful to life. Opening the keypad shows an answer bar of 7 slots; entering POLLUTE correctly unlocks the door.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Survey the room before opening the keypad. Note the closed door, the rectangular keypad on the wall beside it, and the clue prop placed around the room; the recurring door panel and the coin counter are dressing rather than part of the clue.
- Tap the wall keypad to bring up the letter entry panel. The 7-slot answer bar appears above the scrambled letter pool, and this is where the password word must be typed one letter at a time.
- Read the room clue and match it to POLLUTE. The room clue depicts a dirty or contaminated environment, and the seven-letter password is POLLUTE.
- Spell POLLUTE from the offered keys in order: P-O-L-L-U-T-E. Check each letter against the on-screen pool before you place it in the bar, and keep any prefix already shown in the bar in place rather than retyping it.
- Verify the entry before confirming. The 7 filled slots must match the 7 letters of POLLUTE, and no letter outside the pool should have been used; leave no slot empty.
- Confirm POLLUTE. The keypad accepts the entry, the level-clear banner appears over the opened door, the reward coins are released, and the next-level play button becomes active once the reward is claimed.
Strategy & Reasoning
This level reduces the puzzle to naming the concept shown by the clue prop. The door does not ask for a hidden object or a numeric code, so the fastest route is to identify the pictured idea and spell its ordinary English name; recurring furniture such as the door and the wall panel repeats across levels and carries no letters into the answer.
The 7-slot bar narrows the candidate to a 7-letter word. POLLUTE fits both the clue and the slot count, while a shorter DIRTY adjective does not match the seven-letter verb target, and neither fits the pictured contamination.
Reading the prop first and the spelling second avoids mis-taps. Confirming each letter against its row in the pool before submitting keeps one wrong tap from locking the entry, and a quick length check against the bar rules out shorter or longer synonyms before they are typed.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Do not answer with the adjective DIRTY. The seven-slot target is the verb POLLUTE.
- Watch the double L: P-O-L-L-U-T-E; one L leaves the entry misspelled.
- Read the clue as contamination of the surroundings, not as a trash object name; the door wants the action word.
