THE ILLUSTRATED FIELD GUIDE / WORD WEAVE

Follow a word around the corners.

Find every word on the visible list by connecting neighbouring letters. A path may move horizontally, vertically or diagonally, and can change direction at each letter. The title gives you the theme; the word list tells you exactly what to find.

Read the words before you trace

A five-by-five garden letter grid beside the target words RAKE, FERN, SEED and STEM. — A garden puzzle: four named words to find.

Look at the theme and the targets below the board. In this garden example, you are finding RAKE, FERN, SEED and STEM. Locate a possible first letter, then check which neighbouring square could supply the next one.

Connect touching letters

A highlighted path spells RAKE through four neighbouring squares, turning twice and including a diagonal step. — R → A → K → E. Diagonals and corners are allowed.

Start at R, move diagonally to A, then up to K and left to E. Each step touches the last, so the bend is allowed. Tap the letters in order and choose Submit word, or drag through the path and release to submit it.

Use a tile once per word

An attempted letter path returns to a previously used A square; that repeated square and the returning segment are marked with an orange cross. — This path returns to the same A tile, so it is not allowed.

You may revisit a letter elsewhere on the board, but you cannot use the very same tile twice in one word. Tap the previous tile to step back, or Clear path and try again. A jump over a non-neighbouring square is also invalid.

Check off the whole list

The garden grid with its four target paths highlighted and RAKE, FERN, SEED and STEM all checked. — Four checked words complete this garden puzzle.

Accepted words stay checked off. Letters are available again when you start a different word, so two words may share tiles. Find all four targets here to finish. Easy uses 5 × 5 with four words, Medium 6 × 6 with five, and Hard 7 × 7 with six.

THE FINISH LINE

What counts as complete?

Find every target on the list. Other English words do not count in this game, and finding a word a second time does not increase your total. Accepted words save immediately; an unsubmitted path is temporary.

ONE TO REMEMBER

A common wrong turn

A letter appearing twice in a word needs two different tiles. A diagonal neighbour is allowed, but skipping a square or returning to an already used tile is not.

Controls & a little help

Tap letters or drag across them. With a keyboard, Tab to a tile and press Enter or Space to choose it; arrows move focus around the board. Submit word checks a tapped path. Clear path removes only the current selection. Hint outlines the first tile of one remaining word.
