About this word search
New Zealand grows kiwifruit by the shipload, mostly around Te Puke in the Bay of Plenty, but the fruit most Kiwis get excited about is the feijoa. In autumn the trees drop more than any family can eat, and bags of them turn up on office desks and neighbours' doorsteps. Tamarillos, boysenberries and stone fruit from Central Otago and Hawke's Bay fill out the rest of the year.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down or on the diagonal, never backwards. Passionfruit is the longest with twelve letters, followed by boysenberry with eleven. Pear and plum have only four letters and slip in between the bigger words. The J in feijoa is the only one on the board, so it is a quick find, and the double R in cherry and the berries helps too.
Make it a fruit bowl challenge: every time you find a fruit, tick it off if someone in the house has eaten it this week. The fruits nobody has tried yet go on the next shopping list.
