Word Chain Level 194 runs to 5 links, starting on GOUDA and ending on CLEANER. Each word joins the one after it, so the chain reads gouda cheese then cheese pizza, and on to the end.
The words below are listed in the order they link, never alphabetised, because the order is the puzzle. Read out of sequence the same words say nothing; read in sequence each one explains the next. The joins are spelled out under the tiles above so you can check a pair without saying it aloud.
At 5 links this is one of the longer chains, and long chains are lost in the middle rather than at the ends. A middle word has to join backwards and forwards, so a word that fits perfectly on one side can still be wrong. Fix the two ends first, where each word answers to a single neighbour, then close the gap from both directions.
This level sits in the 101-200 block, with level 193 and level 195 linked at the foot of the page.

How Word Chain Works
The same three moves solve most puzzles, including this one.
Work from both ends
The first and last words have only one neighbour each, so they are the most constrained and the easiest to fix.
Test the pair, not the word
A candidate has to join on both sides. Say both compounds aloud, and if either sounds wrong the word is wrong.
Mind the middle
Middle links carry two constraints at once, which is why they resist longest and are worth attacking last.
Word Chain Tips & Strategy
Starting with what this particular puzzle teaches you.
This chain has 5 links
Fill the ends first: the first and last words answer to one neighbour each, while every middle word has to satisfy two at once.
Check the pair, not the word
A candidate has to make sense on both sides. This chain joins as gouda cheese, cheese pizza, pizza oven, oven cleaner.
Read the chain in order
Each word only makes sense against the one before it, so a chain read out of order tells you nothing.
Start at the ends
The first and last words answer to a single neighbour, so they fall before the middle does.
Say both compounds aloud
A middle word must join backwards and forwards. Hearing both halves catches a wrong fit faster than reading does.
Common words link the most
Words like HOUSE, LIGHT, WATER and BOOK join in both directions with dozens of partners, which is exactly why they sit in the middle so often.
