About the theme

Sweet Desserts hits the same vocabulary range as a bakery window. The long entries — profiterole, milkshake, cheesecake, macaron — anchor the harder grids. The short ones (fudge, tart, mousse, gelato) hide in the middle. Heavy on the soft consonants of sweet-name register — lots of C, L, R, and the soft S. A theme where the per-word task feels easy because the words are concrete and familiar; what scales the difficulty is finding all of them on a 20×20.
