How to Participate in AWC 2024!

This year there are 144 items. Depending on the difficulty you choose, you will complete up to 144 items. Each level will require you to complete a minimum number of items. And yes you read that right, this year you can complete all the items!

    🔍 Level 1 - A minimum of 20 completed items
    🔎 Level 2 - A minimum of 40 completed items
    🔍 Level 3 - A minimum of 60 completed items
    🔎 Level 4 - A minimum of 80 completed items
    🔍 Level 5 - A minimum of 100 completed items
    🔎 Level 6 - All 144 items completed

Introduction

This year we have created a word search challenge! There are no tiers! You can watch as many anime as you want (all your beloved seasonals!), in whatever order you want.

There are two ways you can go about setting up your post:
  1. Use the AWC 2024 website
    • Find as many words as you'd like
    • Fill in your personal information at the bottom
    • Based on the words chosen and the information entered, the site will create a custom BBCode for you
    • Paste the generated BBCode into your sign-up post
    • Please be patient with the website! If it is not working there might be too many people using it at once
    • Note: If you change your mind about the words that you want to use or the number of words you want to use, you will either have to re-enter all your information into the website, or you can use the second method to edit what you've already got

  2. Use the BBCode provided below to create your challenge code
    • Copy everything that is under the spoiler for "Sign-Up Code" - this is the base of your challenge code
    • Look at the word search and find however many words you want
    • Look under the spoiler for "Word Codes" and copy the BBCode for only the words that you are using in your challenge

How do I know what words to choose or how many to choose?
  • You must complete a minimum of 20 items
  • Each word has an item list attached to it, containing the same number of items as letters in the word, plus one
  • For each word you will complete the same number of items as letters in the word (if you are doing Level 1-5)
    • For example: the word CHIBI has five letters, and the list for CHIBI has six items
    • If you are doing Level 1-5 you will use five of these items and delete one (you must complete all five for the word to count)
    • If you are doing Level 6 you will use all six of the items
  • Everyone will use at least three of the words, as this is the smallest combination that will have you complete at least 20 items

Challenge List with Explanations

  • Anime = an animated work listed on MAL; any type is allowed unless otherwise specified
  • Screenshots are suggested as evidence for some items which require information that could change by the time you turn-in. There are also items in which they are required, as the information will change after you complete them
  • Some items rely on information provided by Anime+ - you don't need to make an account, just type your username and it will update the information for you
  • Carefully read each item's additional information provided, as some of them require extra information to be provided
  • Keep in mind that all items related to score will use the score displayed in the entry's page; if an anime's score is listed as N/A, you cannot use it for items involving score

Sign-Up Code
  • Read the Rules, How to Participate, and Challenge List with Explanations from the posts above before working on your challenge
  • The box below contains the BBCode you will need to have a "ready to post" challenge list. You will copy everything inside the box and post it as a reply to this thread


Word Codes
  • Only copy the code for words you are using in your challenge
  • If you are doing Level 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, you will be deleting one item from each word group
    • Example: For "CHIBI" there are 6 items but you will only complete the number of items equalling the number of letters in the word, so you complete 5
  • If you are doing Level 6 you will keep all the items
  • For extra information and hints, see the Challenge List with Explanations
