Squares

Maximize your word count to achieve victory! Squares is a daily word puzzle game blending strategy and wordplay. The objective is to complete squares on a grid to form words.

Gameplay:

Connect letters in any direction—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—to create words. Your mission is to uncover all the words hidden within the letter grid and amass the highest possible score.

Game Rules:

• Each letter in a word earns 1 point (e.g., a five-letter word scores 5 points).
• Words must contain at least four letters.
• Each tile can only be used once per word.
• Words with hyphens, proper nouns, offensive language, or uncommon terms are not included in the main word list.

Bonus Words:

Bonus words consist of uncommon, archaic, or slang terms. These words don't contribute to your score but appear in a separate bonus word list. You can continue searching for bonus words even after finding all the main words (post-game). Each puzzle also features a "Word of the Day," a special, often longer bonus word. Discovering it rewards you with two extra hints!

Daily Challenges:

A new Squares puzzle is available daily at midnight.

Grid Rotation:

Need a fresh perspective? Rotate the grid left or right using the buttons in the bottom right corner. Viewing the puzzle from different angles can unlock hidden words.

Letter Usage Hints:

After finding 40% of the words, you receive a hint: a number appears on each letter, indicating how many words begin with that letter. The absence of a number means no words start with that letter. If a letter turns orange, it's no longer used in the main words but might still appear in bonus words.

Hints System:

Each puzzle offers 3 to 5 hints, represented by a lightbulb icon. Using a hint reveals the first letter of a random word and its search direction. The number of hints (3-5) depends on the puzzle's difficulty. Sharing the game link with friends grants you an extra hint! Good luck and happy word hunting!
