The Word Search playbook
Start Word Search by looking at the playing area and its controls. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Look at what changes after your first action. 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
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 you are aiming for
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The steps to play
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Learn from a sample situation
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
