Squares

Master the art of word discovery with ! This daily word puzzle challenges you to form words on a grid to complete and maximize your score. Here's how to play and win:

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

Rules of the Game:

• Scoring: Each letter in a word earns you 1 point (e.g., a 5-letter word scores 5 points).
• Minimum Word Length: Words must contain at least 4 letters.
• Letter Usage: Each tile can only be used once per word.
• Exclusions: Hyphenated words, proper nouns, offensive language, and uncommon terms are not included in the main word list.

Bonus Challenges:

• Bonus Words: Discover obscure, archaic, or slang terms for bonus word list entries. These don't earn points but add an extra layer of challenge. You can hunt for them even after completing the main word puzzle.
• Word of the Day: Each puzzle features a special, often longer bonus word. Finding it rewards you with two extra hints!

Game Features:

• Daily Puzzle: A new puzzle is available every day at midnight.
• Grid Rotation: Rotate the grid left or right for a fresh perspective and to potentially spot hidden words.
• Letter Hints: After finding 40% of the words, you'll receive a hint: numbers on each letter indicating how many words start with that letter. An absence of a number means no words begin with that letter. Orange letters are no longer used in the main words but may appear in bonus words.
• Hints System: Each puzzle provides 3 to 5 hints (lightbulb icons), revealing the first letter of a random word and its search direction. The number of hints depends on the puzzle's difficulty. Sharing the game link with friends grants you an extra hint!
