How to play Word Search
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Word Search. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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.
Controls
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful 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. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
