How Level 17 Breaks Down
This board is level 17 of the Gemstones category in Word Salad. You are given the 16-tile pool MOGABAOSRETNNOYX and must find 5 answers, every one of them a gemstone-themed word. That is right on the game-wide average of 6 words per board, so this is a quicker board than most.
The longest answer is Moonstone at 9 letters, and the shortest runs to just 4. Finding the long entry first is almost always the fastest route through a Word Salad board: it consumes the rare consonants, and what remains in the pool tends to spell the short answers out for you. If you are working the category in order, level 16 comes before this one and level 18 comes next.
The Gemstones category runs to 50 levels in total — the full index is on the Gemstones page. For a different theme, the category list covers all 23, and there is a separate daily puzzle archive with 920 dated boards.

3 Tips for Gemstones Level 17
Play Moonstone first
It is the longest answer on this board at 9 letters, and it eats the awkward tiles. Clearing it leaves 4 shorter answers to find from a much friendlier pool — on Word Salad boards the long entry is almost always the fastest way in.
Read the pool: 6 vowels, 10 consonants
The 16 tiles are MOGABAOSRETNNOYX — and the rare letters Y, X narrow the field fast, because very few Gemstones answers use them. Every answer is drawn from this pool only, so count what you have before you swipe: the shortest answer here runs to just 4 letters.
You are 34% through Gemstones
This is level 17 of 50 in Gemstones, and difficulty climbs gradually across a category, so neighbouring boards share letter patterns. If this one is fighting you, level 16 is a useful warm-up. The daily puzzle uses the same mechanic on a fresh theme each day.

How we verify this level
Every word on this page comes from the Gemstones level data itself, not from a guess or a copy of another site. The 5 answers are checked against the 16-tile pool MOGABAOSRETNNOYX so that no listed word can use a letter the board does not give you, and the list is re-checked whenever Bloop Games updates the game.
