Squares
Master the art of word discovery with Squares! This daily word puzzle challenges you to build words within a grid to complete squares and maximize your score. Let's explore the gameplay and strategies for success.
How to Play:
Connect letters in any direction—up, down, left, right, or diagonally—to form words. Your objective is to uncover all the words hidden within the grid and achieve the highest possible score.
Game Rules:
- Scoring: Each letter in a valid word earns you one point (a five-letter word scores five points).
- Word Length: Words must contain at least four letters.
- Letter Usage: Each tile can be used only once per word.
- Excluded Words: Words with hyphens, proper nouns, offensive language, or uncommon terms are not included in the main word list.
Bonus Challenges:
- Bonus Words: These are less common words (obscure, archaic, or slang) that don't contribute to your main score but appear in a separate list. You can continue searching for them even after finding all the main words.
- Word of the Day: Each puzzle features a special, often longer bonus word. Successfully guessing it rewards you with two extra hints!
Daily Puzzle & Features:
- Fresh Puzzles: A new Squares puzzle is available daily at midnight.
- Grid Rotation: Rotate the grid left or right using the buttons in the bottom right corner to gain a fresh perspective and potentially uncover hidden words.
- Letter Hints: After discovering 40% of the words, a hint system activates. Numbers on each letter indicate how many words begin with that letter (a zero means no words start with that letter). Letters turning orange are no longer used in the main words but might still appear in bonus words.
- Hints: Each puzzle offers 3-5 hints (lightbulb icons) revealing the first letter of a random word and its search direction. Hint availability varies with puzzle difficulty. Sharing the game link with friends grants an additional hint!
Prepare for a rewarding word-finding adventure! Enjoy the challenge and happy hunting!
