Word Search Strategies

A common strategy is to go through the puzzle left to right and look for the word's first letter. After finding the letter, one should look at the eight surrounding letters to see whether the following letter of the word is there. One can then continue this method until the entire word is found. Another strategy is to watch for certain letters that may pop out at you more than others, mainly circular letters. You may find that O, Q, C, and X are easier to see in the grid. Look for other patterns in words, especially double letters.
