Pawpaw Level 9 — Complete Answer Guide
This is the full solution for Word Kitchen level 9 of the Pawpaw pack, part of the Extra Recipes world. The recipe hands you 10 letter tiles — INKOKICOGN — and the key word to plate up is COOKING. In total there are 8 required answers on this board, which puts it right on the game-wide average of 8.2 answers per level.
The tile set breaks down into 4 vowels (I, O) and 6 consonants. Answers run from 3 to 7 letters, so clear the shorter ones first — each one you place confirms letters for the longer entries. This particular level has no bonus words, so the required list below is everything the board accepts.
The key word COOKING is 7 letters long, matching the 10-tile set exactly — that is what makes it the anchor, and why it is worth solving before anything else on the board. Pawpaw sits in the Extra Recipes 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.
Pawpaw holds 18 levels in total. You can step to level 8 or level 10, browse the whole Pawpaw pack, open the Extra Recipes world, or head back to the Word Kitchen hub for all 1,614 levels.
