Answers
11 linked answers, in play order with letter counts.
All 11 answers
Word Pizza Level 242 sits in Madrid and holds 11 words, the longest answer being EARL at 4 letters. A mid-sized level, where each answer placed meaningfully constrains the ones still open.
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.
7 of the 11 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 201–300 block, with level 241 and level 243 linked at the foot of the page.

How Word Pizza Works
The same three moves solve most Word Pizza puzzles, including this one.
Take the set as given
Every answer uses only these tiles. Anything else is wrong before you look at the grid.
Work length by length
Short sets have few possibilities. Sweeping all the three-letter options is faster than free association.
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.
This chain has 11 links
Fill the answers you are sure of first — each confirmed link constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone.
Longest answer is EARL
At 4 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.
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.
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.
Check the doubles
A repeated tile can be used twice in one answer. It is a common reason a valid word is dismissed.
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.
