Connect Word Level 982 sits in Levels 901-1000 and holds 70 words, the longest answer being PAPERBOARD at 10 letters. That is a large board — levels this full are worked one letter at a time rather than by hunting whole answers, and the list below is easier to scan by length than to read straight through.

Every answer below carries its letter count, which is the fastest way to match an empty slot: counting the squares in a gap and scanning for that exact length beats reading the list from the top. Answers are listed in the order the game accepts them, so the page reads the way the level plays.

There are 4 very short answers threaded between the longer ones here. Those are the ones most often left unfilled — count the empty squares in a run rather than scanning the whole board again.

This level sits in the 901–1,000 block, with level 981 and level 983 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Connect Word Works

The same three moves solve most Connect Word puzzles, including this one.

1

Find the full-ring word first

One answer usually uses every letter. Placing it confirms the set and anchors the grid.

2

Then sweep the short words

Most of a Connect Word board is three and four letter words. They are where the level is actually won.

3

Re-use the stems

Once a stem is down, try it with S, ED, ER and ING. A large share of remaining answers are words you already found wearing an ending.

Connect Word Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 70 links

Fill the answers you are sure of first — each confirmed link constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone.

2

Longest answer is PAPERBOARD

At 10 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

Count the short answers first

Every level page shows how many answers run to three letters or fewer. On a board where that number is high, sweep the short words before hunting long ones.

4

The ring is the whole vocabulary

Any candidate using a letter outside the ring is wrong before you check the board. That single rule discards most guesses instantly.

5

A repeated letter can be used twice

If the ring shows the same letter twice, one answer may use it twice. Players routinely reject the correct word on this assumption alone.

6

Work outward from rare letters

A J, Q, X, V or Z appears in very few words. Building from it narrows the search far faster than starting with a vowel.
