About The Latke

A latke fresh from the skillet is one of the great small pleasures of the Hanukkah table, golden on the outside, tender within, and fragrant with onion and hot oil. The tradition of frying foods in oil during Hanukkah recalls the miracle of the Temple lamp that burned for eight days on a single day's supply. Served with cool applesauce or a spoonful of sour cream, the latke is the dish that draws everyone to the kitchen before the plates even reach the table.

    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.
