Find your footing in Word Search

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Word Search. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.

Bring this focus to a round

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. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

How a round unfolds

  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.

The controls to know

Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Try this example

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
