Your guide to Word Search

Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Give this approach a try

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

The goal to keep in mind

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Your inputs

Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example before you play

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
