How to play Word Search
Word Search gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
