Pick your scoop
Everyone has a favourite flavour, and this puzzle scoops up loads of them. You'll be finding the timeless trio — VANILLA, CHOCOLATE and STRAWBERRY — that together make a NEAPOLITAN, plus crowd-pleasers like MINT, CARAMEL and PISTACHIO.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the parlour, no two ice cream word searches are the same. One round a backwards BUBBLEGUM hides in a corner; the next a diagonal ROCKY ROAD rolls across the middle.
Fruity, nutty and downright fun
There's a flavour here for everyone. Cool down with fruity MANGO, BANANA, LEMON, CHERRY and RASPBERRY, go nutty with HAZELNUT and COCONUT, or treat yourself to COFFEE, TOFFEE, FUDGE or COOKIE dough. Prefer something lighter? Grab a SORBET — or pile it all into a SUNDAE.
It's a fun fit for a summer topic or a treat-themed lesson. Tracking down N-E-A-P-O-L-I-T-A-N turns spelling practice into a sweet treat.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each flavour you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left in the tub.
