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.

Button presses:
h, m, f, a, a, b

finds the words:
horizontally SPAR, TARO, ACID and BEDS
and
STAB, PACE, ARID and RODS vertically.
I note Charlie did arrive at this solution, and has shown that there are two other possibilities to arrive at a slightly different array.

So we have two valid solutions, one with its own unique key press sequence while the other allows for two sequences.
