Squares

Maximize your word count to achieve victory! Squares is a daily word puzzle game blending strategy and wordplay, 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 hidden within the letter grid and accumulate the highest possible score.

Game Rules:

• Scoring: Earn one point for each letter in a valid word (e.g., a five-letter word earns five points).
• Word Length: Words must contain at least four letters.
• Letter Usage: Each tile can only be used once per word.
• Invalid Words: Words with hyphens, proper nouns, offensive language, or uncommon terms are excluded.

Bonus Words: Discover hidden bonus words—obscure, archaic, or slang terms. These words don't contribute to your score but appear in a separate bonus list. Continue searching for them even after finding all the main words (post-game). Each puzzle also includes a "Word of the Day," a special, often longer bonus word, granting two extra hints upon successful identification.

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

Grid Rotation: Change your perspective! Rotate the grid left or right using the buttons in the bottom-right corner. A different viewpoint might unlock hidden words.

Letter Hints: After discovering 40% of the words, a hint system activates, displaying a number next to each letter indicating how many words begin with that letter. A zero indicates no words start with that letter. Letters turning orange are no longer used in the main word list but might still appear in bonus words.

Hint System: Each puzzle offers three to five hints (lightbulb icons), revealing the first letter of a random word and its search direction. The number of hints depends on puzzle difficulty. Sharing the game link with friends earns you an additional hint!

Enjoy the word hunt!
