Programmed by: Hitoshi Koizumi
Name: Word Searcher v1.0
Format: TI-83, TI-83plus, and TI-83 Silver edition
Type: Utility Program

Introduction:
I don't know why I made this program but here it is. Word Searcher v1.0. Tired of Word Search puzzles assignments? This program will automatically finds all the words you're looking for!

Installation:
Depending on what calculator you have, install wordfind.8xg or wordfind.83g into your calculator.

Instruction:
Okay, here's how it works:
Let's say this is the puzzle you are working on...

H A P P Y A R W P
O U I O L O U D S
Y I N B V C S Q D

And you are trying to find a word "Happy" and "Loud"
- Run the program, it should ask the Length of the puzzle. In this case, it's 9
- Then it'll ask for the Height of the puzzle. It's 3, get it? Basically, 9 letters X 3 Letters word search puzzle.
- Finally, It'll ask for number of words you want to find. You are looking for Happy and Loud, that's 2
- Type in the word you're looking for, in this puzzle it's Happy then press enter, then Loud.
- Now, you have to type in all the letters in the puzzle. Column at a time... so for the first one, you type: HAPPYARWP
- Then OUIOLOUDS, and so on...
After you have done this, calculator should now automatically search for the word.
If the program finds something, it should see where it's found. "Found At" shows you in what direction the word is in that puzzle. Then you should see 1 on right side of the screen then another 1 right below it. This indicates the coordate of that word. The first number represents in which column, then the one below it indicates in what row. If this is not the word you're looking for, press 2, if it is, press 1.

I think it's a very helpful program but wouldn't it be faster to find'em your own than spending time typing letters in your calculator?
