It’s the season for laziness, which means right now you’re either making food, eating food, or thinking about food. Whatever be the case, we are here to add to your table our new game, ‘Bheja Fry’. Featuring dishes from all across India, this 11×11 crossword is a delicious khichdi of local names, ideas and (admittedly, strong) food opinions. How well do you think you’ll do?

Solving tips for beginners

  1. Skip the hard clues at first. Your final score depends on your speed!
  2. To solve live with a friend, use the blue ‘Play Together’ icon. Use ‘Check’ for errors.
  3. Every answer will be in the same tense or singular/plural form as its clue.
  4. Once you’re finished, see the score list below the grid for the meaning of your results.

Happy solving!
