As someone who is always “a bit of a sweet tooth,” this search could have been for anything from chips to fruit salad to Turkish banquet.

I managed to navigate the board quite easily, struggling solely on the combination of NECTAR and SEEDS – and I was also delighted to spot a rare non-game-related eight-letter word.
