Word City Level 1,988
Answers
16 linked answers, in play order with letter counts.
All 16 answers
Word City Level 1,988 is built from the letters GIKMNOS and holds 16 words. The longest is SMOKING.
The letter set is the fastest filter you have: any word containing a letter outside GIKMNOS cannot be an answer, however well it seems to fit. Check your candidate against the set before anything else.
Every answer is listed with its length, so matching the empty slot by letter count is quicker than reading the list. The 1,901–2,000 block lists the levels around this one.

How Word City Works
The same three moves solve most Word City puzzles, including this one.
Read the letter set
Every answer uses only these letters. Anything outside the set is impossible.
Build from the longest
The longest word usually uses the whole set and contains several shorter answers inside it.
Sweep the short words
Two and three letter answers are easy to overlook and are usually what is blocking completion.
Word City Tips & Strategy
Starting with what this particular level teaches you.
Only GIKMNOS is allowed
Every answer uses only these letters. A candidate containing anything outside the set is wrong before you check the board.
Longest answer is SMOKING
It uses most of the set, and the shorter answers are usually rearrangements of part of it.
The letter set is the filter
Check your candidate against the set before anything else. A single letter outside it rules the word out completely.
Longest answer anchors the level
Find the word that uses the whole set first — the rest are usually rearrangements of part of it.
Letters can repeat
Where the set shows a letter twice, it can be used twice. Doubles open up words people miss.
Count before you guess
Every answer here shows its letter count. Match it against the slot and most candidates disappear.
