Getting started with Word Search
Bring your attention to one round of Word Search. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Try a more deliberate round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Your inputs
Tap or click endpoints. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Try this example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
A common point of confusion
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
