How to play Word Search
Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful 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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
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.
