+# Instructions
+
+In word search puzzles you get a square of letters and have to find specific words in them.
+
+For example:
+
+```text
+jefblpepre
+camdcimgtc
+oivokprjsm
+pbwasqroua
+rixilelhrs
+wolcqlirpc
+screeaumgr
+alxhpburyi
+jalaycalmp
+clojurermt
+```
+
+There are several programming languages hidden in the above square.
+
+Words can be hidden in all kinds of directions: left-to-right, right-to-left, vertical and diagonal.
+
+Given a puzzle and a list of words return the location of the first and last letter of each word.
