Eight Words
After just 6 button presses return this grid to a position where four words can be read horizontally and four vertically.
Report your button presses and the 8 words found.
The "R" button resets the grid.

I personally would prefer most problems here on Perplexus to have been solved by analytical reasoning rather than brute force computer programming (there are others who from time to time express that view too).
That said, there are some where that doesn't seem possible without some good insights. I have no problem in someone applying a computer program to test what one has already reasoned.
In the case of this problem my intention was generally to offer something like Lloyd's "Fifteen" puzzle where you may sit for hours, or just minutes merely pressing buttons, investigating some of the words that appear and then trying to bring them altogether as a unit.
With a list of 316 words beside you that could be interesting playing with buttons, therapy :-)
