About this word search
Blueberry is a word with a Canadian story. Wild lowbush blueberries cover huge stretches of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Saguenay region of Quebec, and by August the barrens are heavy with fruit. Raspberry and Strawberry belong to the same family of words, all ending in BERRY.
That shared ending is the catch in this puzzle. When you spot BERRY in the grid, read backwards from it, along the same line, to see which fruit it belongs to. Words can slant here but are never reversed. Nectarine and Tangerine are long enough to find early, and Fig and Kiwi are short enough to be overlooked.
After the puzzle, sort the twenty fruits into two groups, the ones that grow in Canada and the ones that travel here from warmer places. Expect a lively debate about the peach.
