Word Search: what to know before playing
Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
One thing to notice as you play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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 to use the controls
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See how the rules apply
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Keep this in mind
Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
