Your objective
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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.
The controls to know
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
See the idea in action
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
A useful caution
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
