Word Search: a guide for your next round
Bring your attention to one round of Word Search. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
A small practice goal
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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.
Controls
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Put the rules into context
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
