Word Snack Level 2,978 holds 7 words, the longest answer being CATEGORY at 8 letters. A short level, so every answer carries weight — one placed here usually fixes the crossings for most of the rest.

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.

5 of the 7 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 2,901–3,000 block, with level 2,977 and level 2,979 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Word Snack Works

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

▤1

Place the longest word

It uses most of the plate and leaves far fewer letters for everything else to hide in.

⌕2

Sweep the short words

Three and four letter answers fill in quickly once the long one is down.

✓3

Only these letters count

A word containing a letter that is not on the plate cannot be an answer, however well it reads.

Word Snack Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular puzzle teaches you.

1

This chain has 7 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 CATEGORY

At 8 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

Place the longest word first

It consumes most of the letter pool, and what remains is small enough to work through by hand.

4

Check the letter count

Every answer here shows its length, so a guess of the wrong size is ruled out before you type it.

5

Sweep the short words

Most levels are carried by three and four letter answers, and clearing them is the fastest progress available.

6

Watch for plurals

Adding S to a word already found is the single most commonly missed answer in games of this shape.
