How to use the controls
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
