Chestnut Level 12 — Complete Answer Guide
This is the full solution for Word Kitchen level 12 of the Chestnut pack, part of the Extra Recipes world. The recipe hands you 13 letter tiles — LEGALLIGVVAEI — and the key word to plate up is VILLAGE. In total there are 17 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 6 vowels (E, A, I) and 7 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 VILLAGE is 7 letters long, matching the 13-tile set exactly — that is what makes it the anchor, and why it is worth solving before anything else on the board. Chestnut 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.
Chestnut holds 18 levels in total. You can step to level 11 or level 13, browse the whole Chestnut pack, open the Extra Recipes world, or head back to the Word Kitchen hub for all 1,614 levels.
