Christmas Food Word Search

Work up an appetite in the letter grid. Every word here is something you might find on a Christmas table or in a cookie tin: roasts, puddings, sweets and spices. Print a copy for the kitchen counter and search while the oven does its work.

How to play Christmas Food Word Search

• Every word in the list is hidden in the letter grid in a straight line.
• Drag across a word with your finger or mouse to select it. The selection snaps to the nearest straight line: across, down or diagonal.
• Prefer tapping? Tap the first letter, then tap the last letter to select everything in between.
• Found words stay highlighted on the grid and are crossed off the list. Find them all to finish the puzzle.
• Easy (10×10) hides words left-to-right and top-to-bottom only. Medium (12×12) adds diagonals. Hard (14×14) uses all eight directions, including backwards. Expert (18×18) and Extreme (22×22) pack in more words on a bigger grid for a real challenge.

Controls

• Drag across letters, or tap the first and last letter of a word.
• Hint flashes the first letter of a word you have not found yet.
• New puzzle builds a fresh grid; your current puzzle is saved automatically.
• Print turns the current grid into a clean printable word search sheet with the word list.

Tips

• GINGERBREAD and SHORTBREAD both end in BREAD, so spotting one often leads you to the other.
• Spice words like NUTMEG, CLOVES and CINNAMON are short and tricky; check backwards on Hard.
