About this word search
New Zealand and Australia both claim the flat white, and the argument across the Tasman has never been settled. What is certain is that café culture took off here from the late 1980s, with Wellington in particular known for its roasteries and serious baristas. At home a cuppa still usually means tea, a tea bag in the mug, while the kids get a fluffy with a marshmallow on the side.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and the words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Short black, Cappuccino, Mochaccino and Iced coffee are the longest at ten letters each. Café is only four letters and loses its accent in the grid, so look for CAFE. Double letters help: PP and CC in Cappuccino, CC in Mochaccino and Piccolo, FF in Fluffy and Iced coffee. Two-word drinks such as Flat white and Oat milk run together as FLATWHITE and OATMILK.
Print a few for the café table or the staffroom and leave them next to the sugar. A small house rule makes it more fun: whoever finishes last shouts the next round.
