Kitchen Hangman

Everything here belongs in the kitchen: tools like the LADLE, GRATER and PEELER, appliances from the KETTLE to the MICROWAVE, and a few things you'll find in the PANTRY.

Plenty of kitchen words are made of two smaller ones: DISHWASHER, LUNCHBOX, CORKSCREW, BREADBOARD. When a long word is filling in, look for the join between its halves; guessing a letter from the second word often opens the whole thing up.

The short words, CUP, JAR, JUG, MUG, PAN, share a shape: three letters with a vowel in the middle. U and A are the vowels to test first, then the consonants on either side.

A few words here have a sweet side: HONEY sits in the pantry list alongside the tools. If the word refuses to look like a gadget, think of what you might keep on a shelf or pour from a JUG instead.

A new kitchen word comes up every round. Keep the cookie in one piece on Hard, where only five misses are allowed.
