Understand the basics of Word Search
Make Word Search your next activity in the game library. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Practice with a purpose
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
The steps to play
- Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
- Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.

Keyboard and screen controls
Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
Put the rules into context
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Where a round can go wrong
Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
