Application Description
Master the art of word discovery with Squares! This daily word puzzle challenges you to form words within a grid to achieve the highest score. The objective is simple: connect letters in any direction (up, down, left, right, or diagonally) to create words. But strategy is key!
Gameplay:
- Scoring: Each letter in a valid word earns you one point. Words must contain at least four letters.
- Rules: Each tile can only be used once per word. Hyphenated words, proper nouns, offensive language, and uncommon terms are not included in the main word list.
- Bonus Words: Uncommon, archaic, or slang words are considered bonus words. These don't add to your score but appear on a separate list. You can hunt for these even after completing the main word puzzle. Each puzzle also features a "Word of the Day," a longer, special bonus word that rewards you with two extra hints upon discovery.
- Daily Challenge: A new Squares puzzle is available every day at midnight.
- Grid Rotation: Stuck? Rotate the grid left or right using the bottom-right corner buttons for a fresh perspective.
- Letter Hints: Once you've found 40% of the words, a hint appears: a number next to each letter indicates how many words begin with that letter. An absence of a number means no words start with that letter. Letters turning orange are no longer used in the main words but may still be part of 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 search direction. The number of hints depends on puzzle difficulty. Sharing your game link with friends earns you an additional hint!
Prepare for a rewarding word-finding adventure!
