Is a macaron the same thing as a macaroon?
No, and it's a common mix-up. The hidden MACARON here is the smooth, sandwich-style French meringue cookie, not the chewy coconut macaroon spelled with two o's.
Every good baker keeps a mental shelf of favorites, and this puzzle raids it for twelve of them. There's the everyday comfort of a warm COOKIE and a fudgy BROWNIE, the bakery-window glamour of a French MACARON and a cream-filled ECLAIR, and showstoppers like CHEESECAKE and TIRAMISU that earn their place at a celebration. The treat names are stirred into the grid in straight, slanting, and reversed lines, so reading right to left will catch the ones that seem to be missing. Mark a sweet on screen by clicking where it begins and ends, or print a batch for a bake-sale table, a birthday party, or a rainy afternoon spent dreaming about pudding. Whenever a dessert refuses to surface, the completed key is ready, and nothing you click is ever sent off your device.
