That quiz is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Pie” (if not the acronym/initialism for "Proto-IndoEuropean") is built on ancient words that mean "Meat- or Fish enclosed in Pastry" (another possible difference between 'Pie' & "Cobbler") or maybe "Magpie" (on the notion of the bird's habit of Collecting miscellaneous Objects ... giving us the Printers' Slang for 'a Jumble of Typed-Letters,' built on ancient words that mean "Medley" #Pied #PiedPiper). #PotPie #Pies
The Greek letter "Pi" (which symbolizes the number 22/7 (the mathematical constant for the Ratio of a Circle's Circumference to its Diameter, which--digitally--comes out to about "3.14," making today (month-3, day-14) "Pi Day") corresponds to the Roman #LetterP (built on an ancient word meaning "Little Mouth"). "Pi" is also an abbreviation of a word that means Periphery.
