🍎 Read each clue and write the fruit in the boxes — the word bank lists every answer. Then circle the marked letter (○) in each row to reveal a hidden bonus word! The answer key sits at the bottom — fold it backward along the dotted line before you start.
Each row is its own clue, and the box count gives the exact length of the fruit. That helps on some rows and not at all on others:
Settle the giveaways. Only one fruit in the bank has ten letters and only one has four, so those two rows are done as soon as you count the boxes.
Don't lean on length for the five-letter rows. Five of the ten answers are five letters long, so for those rows the clue is the only thing that tells them apart — read it carefully rather than matching by size.
Use the bonus word to check yourself. The circled letters, read top to bottom, spell a ten-letter fruit. If a letter looks wrong, the row above it is the one to recheck.
Work the clues, count the boxes, and the hidden fruit falls out at the end. More strategy in our guide to winning at word games.
About This Puzzle
Fruits pairs the same bonus-word mechanic as Common Animals with ten fruit riddles instead of animals — STRAWBERRY is the longest answer at ten letters, more than double LIME, the shortest at four. Circle the marked letters as you fill each row to reveal the hidden word underneath.
Don't be shy. You're just getting started. Try another.
