Word Search: how a round works
Read the aim of Word Search, then make your first move. 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.
Something to practise
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you need to achieve
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How a round unfolds
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example to follow
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
