Word Search: how a round works
Choose a round of Word Search and settle into its rules. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
A focus for your next round
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. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Input guidance
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Pay attention to this rule
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.
