![]() ![]() For example, a section devoted to the rock band Green Day has “Boulevard” and “BrokenDreams” in different parts of its section but fans of the band would still know what those terms are referencing. A word has to be able to be fully displayed on screen for you to circle it though, so that does mean relevant phrases might be broken into separate search targets. Usually a section contains somewhere between 80 and 120 words to find, and with 100 individual sections this variable range means certain subjects can be more robust if they have smaller words or can pack in longer search terms if need be. A word cluster is larger than what can be displayed on screen, meaning that a section of the word search can include a large amount of terms to find. The giant word search is split into smaller color-coded segments with different topics per word cluster. In fact, it is even possible for the player to pause and be unable to exit the pause menu, but many of these technical issues are rectifiable by turning the game off and back on again, progress thankfully saved after every word you find. For example, the scrolling around the massive word search is at first smooth and zippy, but over time it becomes rather sluggish and stutters as it seems to have issues loading in the letters you’re moving towards. This blank column problem becomes more likely to happen the longer you play, a few other issues also cropping up the longer you have the game on. This gets a bit worse when you consider the odd technical issues Word Search 10K has, the game sometimes not displaying a column of letters even once you have scrolled far enough over it should be visible. If even a pixel of the next column or row is on screen, it will believe that word is visible and put it in the word bank, meaning you can be searching for something you can’t even see. This does mean technically you’ll only have relevant words to search for, but the display doesn’t move around perfectly. ![]() While you are searching an area for the words you’ll be encircling via the touch screen, a box on the top screen displays every word that has at least one of its letters on screen. Using the d-pad or control stick you can move your window of the massive word search around, the dimensions usually around 12 letters vertically and 16 letters horizontally, but one of the first issues you’ll encounter actually ties into this display method. With quiet classical music backing your work, Word Search 10K only has the goal of finding every word in its huge arrangement of letters. However, as one begins to play, some cracks in the concept slowly reveal themselves as well as technical issues that shouldn’t even exist. Of course, finding 10,000 words in a jumble of nearly 100,000 letters would be overwhelming, so there are some ideas in place to make it manageable like having words remain specific to different sections of the enormous puzzle. Rather than completing word searches across a multitude of puzzles, it instead provides one gigantic word search to complete. Word Search 10K has what sounds like an intriguing premise.
