Word Search: what to know before playing
Word Search gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Your inputs
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Follow the example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Notice this detail
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
