Word Pizza rules in short
- Start at the tip
Type any 3 letter word that fits the fixed pepperoni letters on that row.
- Grow the chain
Each next word is one letter longer and starts with the last letter of the word before.
- Score high
Rarer letters score more, and rows multiply their word from 1x at the tip up to 5x at the crust. The day's two topping letters are worth 10 each.
- Get your grade
Your score is compared with the best possible score for the day and graded Burned, Toasty, Saved or Supreme.

Word Pizza answers and levels
People often search for Word Pizza answers by level. Those belong to a different Word Pizza, a mobile game built around numbered levels. The game in this guide lives at wordpizza.com and has one puzzle a day. Any chain of real words that fits the pepperoni letters counts, and the grade only tells you how close you came to the best score.
Questions people ask about Word Pizza
How do you play the Word Pizza game?
Build five words, one per row, from 3 letters at the tip to 7 at the crust. Each word has to start with the last letter of the word above it.
Where are the Word Pizza answers for all levels?
Level lists belong to another game with the same name, a phone app with numbered levels. This Word Pizza is one daily chain, and many different chains score well, so it has no single answer.

A Supreme game with no rejected words and no hints.
How do streaks work?
Finish each day to keep it going, even with a Burned grade. You start with one forgiven day, earn another at a 3 day streak, and can hold two.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Send a challenge with your score, or start a party with its own private leaderboard.
Ways to get better at Word Pizza
- Put your rare letters in the crust, where the 5x multiplier is.
- Plan backwards from a good long word, since its first letter sets the end of the word above.
- Only Scrabble words count, so names, places and abbreviations are out.
- A rejected word costs you the Golden Slice, so test a doubtful word in your head before you enter it.
