Your goal

Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
