Word Kitchen Dacquoise Level 16
The key word is STOCK. 4 answers plus 4 bonus words, all built from the 5 tiles STOCK.
Dacquoise Level 16 — Complete Answer Guide
This is the full solution for Word Kitchen level 16 of the Dacquoise pack, part of the Cake world. The recipe hands you 5 letter tiles — STOCK — and the key word to plate up is STOCK. In total there are 4 required answers and 4 bonus words on this board, which puts it below the game-wide average of 8.2 answers per level.
The tile set breaks down into 1 vowel (O) and 4 consonants. Answers run from 3 to 5 letters, so clear the shorter ones first — each one you place confirms letters for the longer entries. Bonus words do not fill grid slots but still earn coins, so it is worth trying COTS and the other 3 extras once the required words are in.
The key word STOCK is 5 letters long, matching the 5-tile set exactly — that is what makes it the anchor, and why it is worth solving before anything else on the board. Dacquoise sits in the Cake world alongside its sibling recipe packs, and every level in it follows the same shape: one full-length key word plus the shorter words hiding inside the same letters.
Dacquoise holds 18 levels in total. You can step to level 15 or level 17, browse the whole Dacquoise pack, open the Cake world, or head back to the Word Kitchen hub for all 1,614 levels.

3 Tips for Word Kitchen Level 16
Plate the key word first
Every board is built around one key word, and here it is STOCK. It uses the most tiles of anything on the board, so finding it strips the awkward letters out of the 5-tile set and leaves the remaining answers far easier to see.
The tiles are STOCK
All 4 required answers plus 4 bonus words come from these 5 tiles alone. Count them before you swipe — the tile set caps what is possible far more tightly than the recipe theme does.
Bonus words pay for hints
This level carries 4 bonus words beyond the required set. They do not fill a slot but they earn coins, and coins are what buy hints on the harder boards later in Cake. Sweep for short combinations once the required answers are in.

How to Solve Word Kitchen Level 16
Three steps that work on every Word Kitchen board, applied to this one.
Read the tile pool first
Level 16 hands you 5 tiles — STOCK — and nothing on the board can use a letter that is not in that set. Counting the tiles before you swipe rules out most of what comes to mind first, which is faster than guessing and being rejected.
Place the key word
Every board is built around one long key word, here STOCK. It consumes the most tiles of anything on the level, so finding it strips the awkward letters out of the pool and leaves the remaining answers far easier to see. Work outwards from it rather than starting with the short words.
Fill the remaining slots, then sweep for bonuses
That leaves 3 required answers to place. Once they are in, sweep for short combinations: this level holds 4 bonus words that fill no slot but earn the coins which buy hints on harder boards later in Cake.
