Word Chain Level 501 runs to 3 links, starting on KURT and ending on CROWE. Each word joins the one after it, so the chain reads kurt russell then russell crowe.
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 3 links this is a short chain, so there is little room to go wrong once either end is fixed. Start from whichever end you are surer of; with this few words, one confirmed link usually settles the rest.
This level sits in the 501-600 block, with level 500 and level 502 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 3 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 kurt russell, russell crowe.
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.
