Search in two stages: locate a starting letter, then test the allowed directions from it. An unusual pair of letters narrows the choices more than a single vowel. Mark a word only when the entire sequence matches.

What to check

Before starting, check whether diagonal and backward words are included. If you get stuck, try another list entry and return later. A marked letter can belong to another word.

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.
