Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Build familiarity through play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
The challenge in front of you
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
One way to understand the rules
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
Pay attention to this rule
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
