Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
One thing to notice as you play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
How to proceed

Getting comfortable with the controls
