'GRID............
T A S S A Y A E S
A N O N L U T R K
O V E R T O E S T
T R A S T K U Y N
O S L A A A K R E
S K L S L E V A N
E L A S S M I T I

I have a list of 10 words and need to loop
through each word and see if its anywhere in the grid..
horizontally, vertically and (fully diagonally in all directions,even backwards)

??is there and vb.code that can do this easily ..

Inititially i thought this would be easy BUT !! beyond me.

Really appreciate any help

What have you tried so far? Show some code, even if it did not work.

Have fun.

Have worked out a simple method of solving the problem
I have loaded the grid indented 10 columns.

I was having a problem with the diagonal search as i did
not have the same length line ie started with 1x1 ended with 1x10
by moving the grid over i had the diagonal the same length
as horizontal

Thanks for the offer of help
