How your actions work
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
Work through an example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
