A small practice goal
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example to follow
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
An important reminder
Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
