The challenge in front of you

Put the rules into context
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Words cannot turn corners. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
