Squares

Master the art of word discovery with Squares! This daily word puzzle challenges you to strategically complete squares on a grid to form words. The objective is simple: connect letters in any direction (up, down, left, right, or diagonally) to create words and maximize your score.

Gameplay Mechanics:

• Scoring: Each letter in a valid word earns you one point (minimum 4 letters per word).
• Letter Usage: Each tile can only be used once per word.
• Word Restrictions: Hyphenated words, proper nouns, offensive language, and uncommon terms are not included in the main word list.
• Bonus Words: Discover hidden bonus words – obscure, archaic, or slang terms. These don't add to your score but appear on a separate list, offering a post-game challenge. A special, often lengthy "Word of the Day" also awaits, granting two extra hints upon successful identification.
• Daily Puzzle: A new puzzle is released daily at midnight.
• Grid Rotation: Rotate the grid left or right for a fresh perspective and potential word discoveries.
• Hints: After finding 40% of the words, a hint system activates, displaying a number on each letter indicating how many words begin with that letter (0 indicates no words start with that letter). Letters turning orange indicate they've been used in the main words but might still appear in bonus words. Each puzzle provides 3-5 hints (lightbulb icon) revealing the first letter and search direction of a random word. Sharing the game link earns an extra hint!

Embrace the challenge and happy word hunting!
