A focus for your next round
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Keep the objective visible.
The objective of a round
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
Making your moves
- 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.
Controls
Tap or click endpoints. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Follow the example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Check this before moving on
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
