Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Tap or click endpoints. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Work through an example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Notice this detail
Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
