The Word Search playbook
Try Word Search at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.

What counts as success
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
The controls to know
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A closer look at one example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
