How to play Word Search
Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
