A practical guide to Word Search
Choose a round of Word Search and settle into its rules. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Look at what changes after your first action.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Take a closer look while playing
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.

The controls to know
Tap or click endpoints. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Put the rules into context
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
An important reminder
Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
