FRUIT AND VEGETABLES WORD SEARCH

A fruit and vegetables word search, playable here and printable with an answer key. Two levels, and a new grid every time you load it.

Produce is the vocabulary people use soonest after learning it — in a shop, the same afternoon. The easy level sticks to what is on every stall: apple, pear, plum, carrot, onion, potato. Each one shows a plain definition when you find it, which turns the puzzle into something closer to a vocabulary sheet than a game.

The harder level is the produce aisle nobody is confident about — COURGETTE, CELERIAC, KOHLRABI, RADICCHIO, MANGOSTEEN. Things most people have seen, some have eaten, and very few have ever had to write down.

HOW TO PLAY

• Tap the first letter, then the last letter. No dragging, which matters on a phone where dragging a diagonal across small letters is inaccurate.
• Across, down or diagonally — never backwards, at either level.
• Either order works. Tapping the last letter first is fine; it's the line that counts.

PRINT IT

Press Print this puzzle — or just Ctrl‑P — and you'll get the grid exactly as it is on screen, with the word list underneath and a full answer key on a second sheet. Generate a new grid first if you'd like a different one; whatever is on screen is what prints. No account, no watermark, nothing to download.
