Understand the basics of Word Search
Choose a round of Word Search and settle into its rules. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Take a closer look while playing
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
The order of play
- Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
- Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.
- Find all eight targets.
- New puzzle shuffles again.
How your actions work
Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Work through an example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
