Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
How your actions work
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. Keep the controls nearby.
A common point of confusion
Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
