A grid full of treats
This puzzle is a sweet shop on a page, and it's packed with favourites. You'll be finding the classics — LOLLIPOP, FUDGE and TOFFEE — the chewy crowd like the GUMDROP, GUMMY and TAFFY, and a smooth square of CHOCOLATE for good measure.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the jar, no two candy word searches are the same. One round a backwards LICORICE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal JAWBREAKER rolls across the middle.
From the sweet shop counter
We've saved room for the old-fashioned treats too. Look for the striped HUMBUG, the fizzy SHERBET, the fancy BONBON, TRUFFLE and PRALINE, and the nutty NOUGAT and CARAMEL. There's plenty of pure SUGAR, and a shiny WRAPPER to peel back first.
It's a fun pairing for a party, a treat-themed lesson, or just a rainy afternoon. Tracking down J-E-L-L-Y-B-E-A-N turns spelling practice into a proper treat.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each sweet you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left in the jar.
