Italian Desserts: a free online word search

Italian desserts word search, free to print or play on screen. Think cannoli shells and the glass pastry case at the corner bakery.

About Italian Desserts

Every Italian bakery has a glass case, and every family has one dessert that has to be on the table or the holiday doesn't count. Panettone arrives from Milan at Christmas, and in Naples the struffoli, little fried dough balls glazed with honey, are piled into a wreath. A cannoli shell in Sicily is filled to order, and the white string on the pastry box is half the memory.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
