A little food for thought.

From garden to pantry

The food theme mixes produce, grains and everyday ingredients. Try saying each word aloud as you find it, or use the printed sheet as a starting point for a conversation about your favorite meal.

• Lentil — a small, flat pulse often cooked in soups and stews.
• Barley — a cereal grain used in soups, bread and other foods.
• Basil — a leafy herb with a sweet, distinctive aroma.
• Radish — a crisp root vegetable that may taste peppery.
• Papaya — a tropical fruit with orange flesh and many dark seeds.
• Cashew — a curved edible seed commonly sold as a nut.

A few simple rules

• Find every word in the list. Accented letters keep their accents; match the letters exactly.
• Easy words run to the right or down. Standard adds diagonals and backward words.
• Drag from the first letter to the last, or tap both ends. Selecting the same word again will not add to your score.
• Keyboard: Tab to the grid, move with arrow keys, and press Enter or Space at each end. Escape cancels.

Try an endpoint selection

For CAT in three neighboring cells, select C and then T. The middle A is included automatically. A selection must follow one straight line.
