About This Free Printable Crossword

The menu is long in this hard food crossword: eighteen answers on a 15x15 grid, from warm morning porridge to tropical fruit. Some clues are easy bites, but others ask for the leafy green that made Popeye strong, the fuzzy brown fruit with green insides, and the tropical fruit called the king of fruits, which gives confident solvers a genuine workout. Teens and adults who cook, snack, and argue about pineapple on pizza will feel right at home.

It slides into a nutrition unit, a family and consumer science class, or a slow restaurant wait, and it makes a tasty screen-free activity for a rainy Saturday. Before printing, choose Letter or A4.
