Bring this focus to a round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
See how the rules apply
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
A useful caution
Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
