Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

Extra columns mean the long entries finally fit, and the theme has a few: the baked ones, the decorative ones, the name of the month itself. Long words are the easiest to spot, because an unusual run of letters shows up well before you have read the whole line, so a bigger easy grid often feels no harder than a small one.

This is the step to take when the standard easy grid ends too quickly but the diagonals still feel like a nuisance. It also works as a shared sheet for a mixed group, since anyone who can read a line can make progress, and the gap between a fast solver and a slow one shows up as time rather than frustration.

Scan for doubled letters. A pair such as ll or ee stands out from random filler, and several words in this theme happen to carry one.
