THE PLAYBOOK · XJFDJSZP

Understand the basics of Word Search

Bring your attention to one round of Word Search. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Look at what changes after your first action.

Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.

Take a closer look while playing

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. Make the next step deliberately.

Aim for this result

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

A closer look at one 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. Keep the controls nearby.

One detail worth checking

Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
