Wordscapes Level 118,980 is built from the tiles POISON and holds 14 words on the board, the longest being POISON at 6 letters. That is a middling board: enough answers that a list helps, few enough that you can check off what you have already found.

7 of the 14 answers are three letters or shorter, which is where levels like this are usually lost. Players find the long words and then stall on the small ones, because short words are easy to look straight past on a full grid. Clear the short runs first and the longer answers become much easier to place.

Note that POISON repeats a letter, so a single answer may use that tile twice. This is the most common reason a correct word gets ruled out early — players assume each tile is single-use and discard the answer before trying it.

This level is in the 118,901–119,000 block, with level 118,979 and level 118,981 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Wordscapes Works

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

1

Start from the tile set

Every answer uses only these letters. A candidate containing anything outside the set is wrong before you check the grid, which kills most guesses instantly.

2

Place the longest word

It often uses the whole set and fixes several crossings at once. With it down, the remaining slots are far more constrained than they look.

3

Work the crossings, not the list

Most missed answers are short words sitting across a long one. Count the empty squares in a run and look for an answer of that exact length.

Wordscapes Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular level teaches you.

1

This chain has 14 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 POISON

At 6 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

Match the slot by length first

Every answer on this site shows its letter count. Counting the empty squares and looking for that length beats reading an alphabetical list from the top, every time.

4

A repeated tile can be used twice

If the set shows the same letter twice, a single answer may use it twice. Players routinely rule out the correct word because they assumed each tile was single-use.

5

Bonus words fill no squares

If the game accepted your word but nothing appeared on the grid, it was a bonus word. They earn coins and are listed separately on every level page here.

6

Prefixes and suffixes are the quiet wins

Once a stem is placed, test it with S, ED, ER and ING. A large share of missed answers are just a word you already found wearing an ending.
