The whole vegetable patch in one grid
Vegetables are the unsung heroes of the dinner plate, and this puzzle digs up the whole patch. You'll be hunting for everyday staples like the CARROT, POTATO and ONION, leafy greens from SPINACH to LETTUCE, and a few that divide the dinner table, like BROCCOLI and CAULIFLOWER.
Because every new puzzle replants the garden, no two vegetable word searches are the same. One round you're digging up a BEETROOT in the diagonals; the next a backwards MUSHROOM is sprouting in the corner.
Great for healthy-eating lessons
Vegetables are a classroom favourite, fitting neatly into topics on nutrition, gardening and where food comes from. For younger players it's familiar, colourful and great for spelling practice.
And for grown-ups, it's a relaxing hunt that might just inspire tonight's dinner — KALE smoothie optional.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each vegetable you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's still in the ground.
