Word Search: learn through an example
Try Word Search at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
An idea for your next attempt
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
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.
Making your moves
- 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.
Put the rules into context
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
An important reminder
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
