Follow the steps for Word Search

Word Search gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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.

A focus for your next round

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

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.

The playing sequence

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.

Follow the example

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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.
