Word Search: how a round works
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Word Search. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Take a closer look while playing
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Work through an example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
