Build familiarity through play
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your objective
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Start here and follow along
- Select the first and last letter of a straight word.

- Find all eight targets.
- New puzzle shuffles again.
Keyboard and screen controls
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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
Words cannot turn corners. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
