How to play Word Search
Choose a round of Word Search and settle into its rules. 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
