How to play Word Search

Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

  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.

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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
