In a more demanding search, long words and repeated letters can produce plausible false starts. Check the full sequence before marking it. You can also locate a distinctive middle letter and verify both ends.

What to check

Review all allowed directions, including reverse directions when specified. Do not bend a word’s path to make it fit. Difficulty does not require speed; use an orderly scan.

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.
