The Word Search Game is a classic puzzle game where players search for words hidden in a grid of letters. Words can be found horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and even backwards. The game provides a grid of letters and a list of words to find. Players need to locate the words by highlighting them in the grid.
The game starts by displaying the Word Search grid and the player's score and number of tries. The player can choose to start a new game or resume a paused game. The player selects a word from the provided list and enters it. The game checks if the word is present in the grid and updates the score and tries accordingly. The game continues until the player finds all the words or runs out of tries. At the end of the game, the player can choose to play again or exit the game.
