How to Play Squaredle?
Squaredle is a word-finding game. Connect adjacent letters in the grid to form English words, the more words you find, the higher your score!
Game Rules
You can connect letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to form words. Each letter can only be used once in a word, and words must have at least 3 letters.
Yellow tiles are special bonus tiles - words using these tiles earn double the score! Keep an eye out for these bonus opportunities.
Scoring is simple: • 3 letters: 100 points • 4 letters: 400 points • 5 letters: 800 points • 6+ letters: 1400+ points Remember: Yellow tiles double your score!
How to Play
At the start of the game, you'll see a letter grid. Find adjacent letters and connect them to form words. For example, if you see C-A-T, you can connect them to form "CAT".
Found words will be displayed in the found list and increase your score. The game will keep track of how many words you've found and how many are left to discover.
When you're stuck, use hints - they'll highlight possible word starts. The number of hints available depends on your chosen difficulty level.
Game Examples
Connect Adjacent Letters
Find and connect adjacent letters in the grid. Here we've found "CAT" by connecting letters vertically.
Bonus Tiles
Yellow starred tiles are bonus tiles that double your word score! Here, "DOGS" uses two bonus tiles for maximum points.
Track Found Words
Each word you find is added to the list with its score. Words with stars indicate bonus tiles were used for double points!
Track Score and Progress
See your current score and completion progress in real-time. The progress bar and remaining word count help you track how many words are left to find!
Tips
Start with common word prefixes and suffixes, as they often form multiple words. For example, finding "ING" might lead to "RING", "WING", or "KING".
Keep an eye on bonus tiles, using them in longer words can result in higher scores. Don't use them too early on short words!
Pay attention to time, using hints wisely. If you're really stuck, a hint is better than just guessing. The fewer hints available, the harder the difficulty level. Use them sparingly!
