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. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
A small practice goal
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Your inputs
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Try this example
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. Take a moment to compare.
