“Fruit Bowl” is the theme for August 15, 2026: seven words tucked into a 10 × 10 letter grid at easy difficulty, served identically to every visitor on this permanent page.
Word lengths range from 4 letters (“Kiwi”) to 6 (“Banana”); since every word reads left-to-right or top-to-bottom — no reversed words, no diagonals, plan your scanning pattern accordingly. Keeping “Fruit Bowl” in mind changes how the grid looks: letter clusters that seem random resolve into on-topic words much faster. By the series count this is #15, one fixed stop in an archive that grows every day and never drops an old date.
Rare letters are the classic shortcut — a Q, X, or Z in the list narrows the whole grid to a handful of starting cells. Answers to common questions live in the how-to-play guide; the archive lists every earlier daily by month, and the puzzle library covers more themes, sizes, and difficulties.
