Straight from the wok
Chinese food is a feast of flavours, and this puzzle gathers a whole menu. You'll be finding the takeaway classics — NOODLES, FRIED RICE, CHOW MEIN and a STIR FRY straight from the WOK — plus the little parcels everyone fights over, DUMPLINGS and WONTON.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the menu, no two Chinese food word searches are the same. One round a backwards SPRING ROLL hides in a corner; the next a diagonal DIM SUM appears across the middle.
Dim sum, duck and more
There's so much to share. Try a fluffy BAO bun, crispy PEKING DUCK, an EGG ROLL and a bowl of comforting CONGEE. The flavours are hidden too — fresh GINGER, nutty SESAME and CASHEW, spicy SZECHUAN and sticky HOISIN — with a sweet LYCHEE and silky TOFU to finish.
It's a tasty fit for a food topic or a lesson on flavours from around the world. Tracking down C-H-O-P-S-T-I-C-K-S turns spelling practice into a takeaway treat.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each dish you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left on the menu.
