Word Search: a guide for your next round

Word Search gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

Practice with a purpose

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

What counts as success

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.

Making your moves

  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.

How your actions work

Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

A closer look at one example

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.

An important reminder

Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
