Today's Today Break Theme is Word Search (Sweet Tooth Edition). Completion of this Daily Break will be worth 75 oodles. Part 1: This word search has 6 words to find Skittles, Snickers, Twizzlers, Nerds, Starburst + TwixSince there are different solutions for different users, I can not help on this. I can only advise to click on the Next>> button to bypass this and/or when the word search is complete. Personal Note: To keep this simple, the song selection is " Candy Man" by Sammy Davis Jr.
