What you need to achieve
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
How to proceed
- 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.
The controls to know
Tap or click endpoints. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful 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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Pay attention to this rule
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
