Something warm in the mug
Nothing beats a hot drink, and this puzzle fills the MUG with favourites. You'll be finding the coffee-shop classics — COFFEE, LATTE, CAPPUCCINO and a punchy ESPRESSO — alongside a comforting cup of TEA and a rich HOT CHOCOLATE made with COCOA.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the menu, no two hot drinks word searches are the same. One round a backwards MACCHIATO hides in a corner; the next a diagonal AMERICANO appears across the middle.
Coffee styles and cosy cups
There's a brew here for every mood. Order a MOCHA, a FLAT WHITE or a frothy MATCHA, pick from the teas — GREEN TEA, EARL GREY, CHAI or a HERBAL blend — and warm up with a winter MULLED drink or a milky STEAMER. It all starts with the KETTLE, a good ROAST and a fresh BREW.
It's a cosy fit for a café-themed activity or a food topic. Tracking down C-A-P-P-U-C-C-I-N-O turns spelling practice into a coffee break.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each drink you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left on the menu.
