I keep mixing up какой (what kind of / which) and как (how). Can someone give a simple rule or examples?
When to use какой vs как?

Какой asks about a noun: "What kind of book?" — Какую книгу ты читаешь? Как asks about manner/way: "How are you?" — Как дела? So: какой + noun, как + verb/adjective/state.

That helps! So "how do you say X" is как сказать, and "which word" would be какое слово. Got it.

Exactly. You've got it.
