شرح is used more when you teach someone. وضح is used more when something is not clear and you explain it (make it clear) فسر is used more when something is not understandable/not clear. About your examples, you can use one word in all of them which is شرح. يشرح قواعد اللعبة يوضح/يشرح معنى الكلمة يوضح الخطأ يشرح /يوضح كيف يعمل يشرح ما يجب فعله في حالة الطوارئ يوضح ما يقصده/ما فعله Their meaning is close and the three words are interchangeable (sometimes). In my opinion, you should use شرح and وضح. Hope this helps.
