Kitchen Tools

Keep your flow

A little more to discover.

Open a drawer of familiar words

Kitchen tools have names that often suggest what they do. A whisk combines ingredients with its loops, a ladle lifts a portion of liquid, and a rolling pin presses dough into a flatter shape. A colander usually drains food through relatively large holes, while a finer strainer can catch smaller pieces. Their uses can overlap, so this is a vocabulary activity rather than a test with one correct cooking technique. The collection includes hand utensils, preparation tools, and a saucepan. It may bring to mind a favorite recipe or the first dish you learned to make. You can enjoy those associations without needing any cooking experience to solve the board.

Long labels with plenty of room to read

There are fourteen targets inside a fourteen by fourteen grid. Words run from left to right or from top to bottom, with no backwards or diagonal placements. Several everyday names normally contain a space; the board and list join those parts together as ROLLINGPIN, MEASURINGCUP, and CUTTINGBOARD. Select the entire joined name rather than just its first part. Those longer targets nearly span the board, giving you a clear line to follow once you recognize the beginning. The visible word list stays near the grid on a phone and beside it on a wider screen, so you can check spelling without relying on memory.

Find a short tool, then follow a longer one

Start with SPOON or FORK to get a feel for selecting endpoints. Tap the first and last letters, drag along a name with a mouse, or move through the grid using the keyboard. Next, look for a longer name with an unusual letter group. Once a word is found, its line remains marked and the list shows that it is complete. Crossings are allowed, and repeating a completed selection does not increase the count. If two tools share an initial letter, compare the second and third letters before continuing across or down. You can pause whenever you want; there is no finishing-time requirement.

Set a clear paper copy on the table

The printable edition keeps these same letters, includes all fourteen names, and removes the navigation and online controls. Large print applies to both the letter size and the space around the grid. Use the print preview to check Letter or A4 paper and the printer's scale before making a copy. Answers are available separately when you want to check a last word. Finding a tool can also be a prompt to describe how you use it. FoodSafety.gov's linked guidance is useful background on cleaning utensils and surfaces; the puzzle itself is not a food-safety assessment. Family Connections makes a friendly next search, while Garden Flowers offers another familiar subject with the same clear layout.
