Find your footing in Word Search

Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.

Give this approach a try

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

Understand the aim

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
  2. Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.
  3. Find all eight targets.
  4. New puzzle shuffles again.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap or click endpoints. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

Learn from a sample situation

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

A useful caution

Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
