A focus for your next round

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Aim for this result

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.

From the start of a round

  1. Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
  2. Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.
  3. Find all eight targets.
  4. New puzzle shuffles again.

Input guidance

Tap or click endpoints. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.

See how the rules apply

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.

A useful caution

Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
