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. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. 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
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round

Input guidance
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Learn from a sample situation
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
