Word Pizza Level 1,653 sits in Novosibirsk and holds 37 words, the longest answer being PLEDGED 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.

14 of the 37 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 1,601–1,700 block, with level 1,652 and level 1,654 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Word Pizza Works

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

1

Take the set as given

Every answer uses only these tiles. Anything else is wrong before you look at the grid.

2

Work length by length

Short sets have few possibilities. Sweeping all the three-letter options is faster than free association.

3

Anchor on the longest

It uses most of the set and fixes crossings that narrow everything still open.

Word Pizza Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 37 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 PLEDGED

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

3

Short sets reward system over instinct

With five or six tiles you can genuinely exhaust the options. Work each length in turn instead of waiting for a word to occur to you.

4

The city identifies the level

Word Pizza groups levels into cities, so the city name on the page is the fastest confirmation you are on the right board.

5

Check the doubles

A repeated tile can be used twice in one answer. It is a common reason a valid word is dismissed.

6

Plurals and tenses count

Adding S or ED often produces another accepted answer, and on short boards those extras are a meaningful share of the total.
