Directions matter
Read the word list and the allowed directions. A word follows a straight line: across, down or diagonally when that direction is allowed. Do not turn midway through a word. Some versions also allow backward reading.
Use a search method
Find a word’s first letter and check its next letter before following the whole sequence. Mark from the first letter to the last and cross the entry off the list. Words can share letters: finding one does not remove those cells from other searches.
