Fast Food — Easy Word Search

Ten familiar fast food items, chosen as generic categories rather than any specific restaurant brand.
The shortest words ("taco" and "wrap") help new solvers gain confidence quickly, while longer entries such as "sandwich" and "milkshake" encourage them to scan the whole grid instead of stopping after the first few finds. In total, this puzzle hides 10 words (burger, fries, nugget, pizza, hotdog, taco, milkshake, sandwich, wrap, donut) across a 12x10 grid, using 17 of its 21 unique letters at least twice.
Why we chose this word list
We deliberately avoided any restaurant brand names: this is a puzzle about food categories, not free advertising for specific chains.
Every word names a complete dish a solver could order, not an ingredient — that distinction is reserved for the Medium level.
Vocabulary analysis
Measured directly from this puzzle's own grid — not a generic estimate.
Why this level is easy
- Only horizontal and vertical words — no diagonals
- No reversed words
- Short, everyday vocabulary
- No uncommon spellings
- Minimal overlaps between words
This puzzle satisfies every requirement of our easy level, as defined in our published methodology and applied consistently across every easy puzzle on this site.

Fifteen words about how fast food actually works as a business and an experience, not just the dishes themselves.
The shortest words ("combo" and "straw") help new solvers gain confidence quickly, while longer entries such as "promotion" and "cheeseburger" encourage them to scan the whole grid instead of stopping after the first few finds. In total, this puzzle hides 15 words (cheeseburger, combo, condiment, takeout, delivery, franchise, ketchup, mustard, coleslaw, beverage, promotion, straw, napkin, grilled, breaded) across a 15x15 grid, using 20 of its 22 unique letters at least twice.
Why we chose this word list
We included "franchise" and "delivery" because the fast food industry is as much about a business model as it is about food — a detail this puzzle chooses to acknowledge rather than skip.
"Grilled" and "breaded" are cooking methods, not dishes, giving solvers a small but real piece of culinary vocabulary alongside the industry terms.
Vocabulary analysis
