Know the goal in Word Search
Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
A small practice goal
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
Understand the aim
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Start here and follow along
- 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 to use the controls
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
