Know the goal in Word Search
Bring your attention to one round of Word Search. 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.
Try a more deliberate 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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The order of play
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
Follow the example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
