Aim for this result
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
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.
Your inputs
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
Work through an example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
