Word Search: a guide for your next round
Open Word Search, check the instructions and begin a round. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
What the game asks you to do
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Keep this in mind
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
