Read before your next round 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. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
An idea for your next attempt
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
The challenge in front of you
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The steps to play
- Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
- Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.

Getting comfortable with 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.
An example to follow
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Pay attention to this rule
Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
