Word Search: from controls to your first round
Take a moment with Word Search before moving to another game. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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 your actions work
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
A mistake to avoid
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
