Vocabulary analysis
Measured directly from this puzzle's own grid — not a generic estimate.
With an average word length of 5.7 letters, this puzzle sits at a moderate 47.5% grid coverage, balancing genuine challenge with enough empty space to keep scanning manageable. 1 of its words share letters with at least one other word on the list, so a single letter in the grid can belong to more than one hidden answer — a real source of extra difficulty beyond word count alone.
Why we chose this word list
Every word here is something a family would actually encounter walking through a real market.
"Seasonal" is included since what's available genuinely changes throughout the year, not a fixed selection.
Why this level is easy
