A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: bake, flour, sugar, eggs, oven, mix, bowl, whisk, spoon and dough. None has more than 5 letters. On a phone the full puzzle takes twelve of the 20, so the letters stay big enough to tap.
Hints for this puzzle
- Start with the longest words. Frosting, vanilla and cupcake take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with B. When you find a B, check it for bake, bowl, batter and bread.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: eggs, spoon, batter, cookie, muffin and vanilla.
