About food & drink crosswords
What they are
Food and drink crosswords serve up answers like AVOCADO, BAGEL, BROWNIE, CINNAMON and CIDER. The set has three minis and three small grids, and the clues are written with a bit of fun: expect descriptions of taste, texture and where on the plate something usually sits.
How to play
Pick any clue that makes you think of a favourite snack and start there. Each answer you write gives letters to the words that cross it, so a quick win like PIE or JAM can unlock a whole corner of the grid.
Tips
Picture a meal from breakfast to dessert and the answers come faster. Clues that mention a colour or shape are pointing at fruit and vegetables. In the hard set, watch for puns about cooking verbs.
Who they suit
Food crosswords suit families, cooking clubs and kitchen-table puzzlers. Teachers pair them with healthy-eating units, and they make a handy activity before a holiday meal.
Printing
Print a couple to leave on the table while dinner cooks. Each puzzle and its answer key print on separate pages.
