WORDOMO - Pull Up a Chair - A Word Puzzle Book for Food Lovers

Trace hidden words through 20 letter tiles, with no timer. 112 puzzles, a Secret Letter in each, and a recipe in every chapter.

Pull Up a Chair is a word puzzle book for adults who love good food and good words. There is no clock and no score. You move at your own pace, from the market to dessert, one puzzle at a time, all the way to the Final Secret.

How to play

Each puzzle is a grid of 20 letter tiles (5 rows of 4) under a theme title such as At the Cheese Counter, Reading the Menu or Summer Fruit. The words are not listed: a row of blank lines for each word tells you how many words to find (5 or 6) and how long each one is. Link letters that touch, up, down, sideways or diagonally, to trace each word. A word never uses the same tile twice. Small dots sit under every letter: each time a word uses a tile, you shade one of its dots, and a tile can serve several words. When every word is found, exactly one dot is still white. Its letter is the Secret Letter of the puzzle. The Secret Letters of a chapter spell its Secret Word, in order at level 1 and scrambled at level 2. The first letters of the 12 Secret Words spell the Final Secret. A worked example teaches the rules in two pages.
