Answer
The word already done for you is REFEREE. It is in the 7th column, reading downwards from the top row.
Every hidden word here reads either down the column or up the column or across a row. Here are ten more — you only need six.
| Word | Where it is | Which way to read |
|---|---|---|
| REFEREE | column 7, rows 1–7 | downwards (done for you) |
| SWEAT | row 1, letters 2–6 | across |
| STACKED | column 1, rows 1–7 | downwards |
| DODGED | column 2, rows 3–8 | downwards |
| WHISTLE | column 3, rows 9 up to 3 | upwards |
| WARRIORS | column 4, rows 2–9 | downwards |
| DRIPPING | column 5, rows 9 up to 2 | upwards |
| RUNNER | column 6, rows 2–7 | downwards |
| TEAMWORK | column 8, rows 1–8 | downwards |
| WAVED | column 9, rows 1–5 | downwards |
| INCLUDE | row 10, letters 3–9 | across |
Why these words and no others: Every one of them is used in the story. Ravi
waved; the stones were stacked; Deepa dodged; the referee blew the
whistle; the Green Warriors played the Tigers; sweat was dripping down
Ravi’s face; Prakash is a good runner; Guneet wanted to include him; and the match
taught everyone about teamwork.
Tip for a word hunt: Take one column at a time and read it downwards, then
upwards. Most of the words in this grid are hidden that way, and only two are hidden across.
