Bean Curd Level 16 — Complete Answer Guide
This is the full solution for Word Kitchen level 16 of the Bean Curd pack, part of the Extra Recipes world. The recipe hands you 9 letter tiles — BANCBEOOC — and the key word to plate up is BEACON. In total there are 13 required answers on this board, which puts it above the game-wide average of 8.2 answers per level.
The tile set breaks down into 4 vowels (A, E, O) and 5 consonants. Answers run from 3 to 6 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 BEACON is 6 letters long, matching the 9-tile set exactly — that is what makes it the anchor, and why it is worth solving before anything else on the board. Bean Curd 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.
Bean Curd holds 18 levels in total. You can step to level 15 or level 17, browse the whole Bean Curd pack, open the Extra Recipes world, or head back to the Word Kitchen hub for all 1,614 levels.
