Word Cookies Level 3,980 (Cheese Dip Level 9) sits in Influential and holds 76 words, the longest answer being ENABLER at 7 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.

32 of the 76 answers run to three letters or fewer, which is where levels like this are usually lost. The long answers go in quickly; it is the short ones filling the gaps between them that get missed, because they are easy to read straight past.

This level sits in the 3,901–4,000 block, with level 3,979 and level 3,981 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Word Cookies Works

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

1

Read the tray

Every answer uses only these letters. Anything containing one from outside is wrong before you check the board.

2

Place the longest word

It usually uses the whole tray and fixes several crossings at once, which narrows everything still open.

3

Match by length

Counting the squares in an empty slot beats re-reading the answer list from the top.

Word Cookies Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 76 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 ENABLER

At 7 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

The pack name identifies the board

Word Cookies numbers levels inside packs rather than continuously, so the pack is what confirms you are looking at the right level.

4

Try every ending

Once a stem is placed, test S, ED, ER and ING. Many of the answers left on a stalled board are a word you already found with a suffix.

5

A doubled letter is usable twice

If the tray shows the same letter twice, a single answer may use both. It is the commonest reason a correct word gets discarded early.

6

Short words fill the awkward runs

The three-letter answers slot into the gaps the long words leave. Clear them and the board usually opens.
