Word Search: rules and examples

Take a moment with Word Search before moving to another game. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.

One thing to notice as you play

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

The purpose of your moves

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

How to proceed

  1. Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
  2. Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.
  3. Find all eight targets.
  4. New puzzle shuffles again.

The controls to know

Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.

A closer look at one example

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Check this before moving on

Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
