Solution Approach:

1. Understand the Grid: The word search grid contains letters arranged in a 20x20 matrix.
2. Search for Words:
- Look for each word in the list by scanning rows, columns, and diagonals.
- Check for words written forward, backward, up, down, left, right, or diagonally.
3. Mark the Words: Once a word is found, mark it in the grid to avoid confusion.
