Alphablock Soup Solution
by Julia Tenney
In each 4x4 small block, 4 food-related words from the same category can be found. Three of them are found by grabbing one box from each column and putting the letters together. The fourth one only uses three of the four remaining boxes, leaving one extra box in each block.
