Food word search puzzles

Pizza, pancakes, mangoes and a suspicious number of desserts: these food word searches hide the whole menu in letter grids. Great for classrooms (fruits and vegetables never spelled themselves) and for anyone who likes their puzzles appetizing.

Print a batch with solutions for the kitchen table, or play online while dinner cooks. Level 1 keeps it simple; level 3 hides the words backwards — like reading a menu in a mirror.
