A way to use this sheet
Use it before a shared snack or a cooking activity. Once the grid is done, sort the found words into fruit and vegetables together, or name a favorite recipe that uses one of them.
For groups, print one puzzle page per person and keep the answer page separately. Our printing permissions cover personal use and non-commercial groups. Read the Letter and A4 printing guide if a page is clipped.
Can I get a version without backward words?
Yes. Choose Easy: words run from left to right or top to bottom. There are no diagonal or backward placements in that level.
Does the answer sheet match a shuffled puzzle?
The live Download PDF button creates an answer sheet for the current grid. The fixed PDF links above always use the original edition. Match the puzzle codes at the bottom of the two pages.
For several different grids from the same words, use the group word search maker. Its PDF keeps all the answers together after the puzzle pages.
