Ribs Level 5 — Complete Answer Guide
This is the full solution for Word Kitchen level 5 of the Ribs pack, part of the Extra Recipes world. The recipe hands you 7 letter tiles — LETNTAN — and the key word to plate up is LATE. In total there are 11 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 2 vowels (E, A) and 5 consonants. Answers run from 3 to 4 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 LATE is 4 letters long, matching the 7-tile set exactly — that is what makes it the anchor, and why it is worth solving before anything else on the board. Ribs 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.
Ribs holds 18 levels in total. You can step to level 4 or level 6, browse the whole Ribs pack, open the Extra Recipes world, or head back to the Word Kitchen hub for all 1,614 levels.
