How to play Word Search
Finding Words
Word Search is a classic puzzle game where you find hidden words in a grid of letters. When you spot a word, drag across to select it. If you guess it correctly, the word will be circled and crossed out from the list.
Word Directions
Words can appear in multiple directions:
- Forward: Left to right (→)
- Backward: Right to left (←)
- Down: Top to bottom (↓)
- Up: Bottom to top (↑)
- Diagonal: Any diagonal direction (↘ ↙ ↗ ↖)
Important Tips
Watch for overlapping words: Small words may also be part of a bigger word. For example, CRAFT might be part of SPACECRAFT. If you cannot select a word, check if it's not part of a larger one.
Scroll through the word list: Make sure to scroll down in the list of words to ensure you find and cross off all of them. Don't miss any!
