About this puzzle
Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes baking word search. Flour on the counter and something good in the oven. A baking word search for home cooks and holiday bakers.
The large print edition uses an 11×11 grid that fills a letter-size page, and words only run across, down or diagonally down.
All 20 words in this theme: Flour, Sugar, Butter, Oven, Whisk, Dough, Cookies, Muffin, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Rollingpin, Frosting, Sprinkles, Pastry, Biscuit, Cupcake, Yeast, Spatula, Brownie, Apron.
Talk about it
Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:
- Who taught you to bake, and what did you make first?
- What was your family’s special birthday cake?
- Do you have a recipe card in someone’s handwriting?
- What smell fills a kitchen best: bread, cookies or cinnamon rolls?
- Did you ever win a ribbon or a compliment for something you baked?
Activity tip: A plate of simple cookies after the puzzle makes a natural reward, and recipe swaps turn into great conversation.
Questions
How big are the letters?
The grid fills most of a letter-size page, with letters about one and a half times the size of a regular (Medium) word search, and the word list is printed in large type too.
Are these suitable for memory care or activity groups?
Yes. Words only run left to right, top to bottom or diagonally down, so the puzzles are relaxing rather than tricky. Print as many copies as your group needs.
Is there a harder version?
Every theme also has a regular print edition with Easy, Medium and Hard levels.
