Find your footing in Word Search

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Word Search. 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.

Practice with a purpose

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

The objective of a round

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

How to proceed

  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. Check any mode label before starting.

Try this example

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

One detail worth checking

Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
