Word Search: from controls to your first round
Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Bring this focus to a round
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.
Aim for this result
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How a round unfolds
- Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
- Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.

Choosing and moving on screen
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
