Outer Space Word Search — Medium Level

Diagonals arrive at this level, which changes how you look at the board far more than the extra size does.

Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

Medium is where most people settle. The board is big enough to hold the broad terms alongside the concrete ones, so gravity and cosmos share the page with the machines that carry people off the ground, and the full run of planet names usually fits. It is the version to print when you want one sheet that works for a mixed group.

The two slanted directions are the only addition. Words still read forwards, so you are never decoding a reversed spelling; you are simply checking four lines out of every letter instead of two. Solvers who have done a few easy boards tend to find the jump smaller than they expected, once they remember to look on the slant.

After a normal pass, run a finger along the long diagonals from each corner. Most missed answers on a medium board are sitting on a slant you never actually traced.
