Squares

Maximize your word count to achieve victory! Squares is a daily word puzzle blending strategy and skill, challenging players to complete squares on a grid to form words.

Gameplay: Connect letters in any direction – up, down, left, right, or diagonally – to create words. Your objective is to uncover all words on the grid and amass the highest possible score.

Game Rules:

• Each letter in a word earns one point (a five-letter word scores five points).
• Words must contain at least four letters.
• Each tile can only be used once per word.
• Hyphenated words, proper nouns, offensive language, and uncommon terms are excluded.

Bonus Words: The puzzle includes obscure, archaic, or slang terms. These bonus words don't add to your score but appear in a separate list. You can continue searching for them even after finding all the main words. Each puzzle also features a "Word of the Day," a special, often longer bonus word. Finding it awards two extra hints!

Daily Challenge: A new Squares puzzle is available daily at midnight.

Grid Rotation: Stuck? Rotate the grid left or right using the bottom-right corner buttons for a fresh perspective.

Letter Usage Hints: After discovering 40% of the words, you'll receive a hint: a number next to each letter indicates how many words begin with that letter. A missing 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 3-5 hints (lightbulb icons). Using a hint reveals the first letter of a random word and its starting direction. The number of hints depends on the puzzle's difficulty. Sharing the game link with friends grants one extra hint! Good luck and happy word hunting!
