An introduction to playing Word Search
Try Word Search at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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. 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
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.
What the game asks you to do
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
The playing sequence
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
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. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
