How to play Squaredle
- Trace a word
Swipe or tap through letters that touch, in any direction. You cannot use the same square twice in one word.
- Find the required words
The word list shows how many words of each length are left. Finding them all solves the puzzle.
- Pick up bonus words
Rarer words count as bonus words. They do not affect your score, so they are just extra.
- Use hints if stuck
Later in the day you can turn on hints that show the first letters of missing words.
The weekly rhythm
The daily puzzle gets harder through the week, easiest on Monday and hardest on Friday. If Friday feels impossible, that is by design.
- Find short words first. They light up letters you have not used yet.
- Look at the letters nobody has touched. Every required word must use the grid, so lonely letters belong somewhere.
- Try plurals and common endings like ED and ING once you have a word.
- Wait for the hints. They open 12 hours after the puzzle comes out, so a stuck word can wait until later in the day.
Express, the archive and the app
Besides the main daily grid there is a quicker Express puzzle. The daily puzzles are free, and the archive of past days comes with the Squaredle Squared membership. No solver is needed if you use the hints, and you will learn the grid's tricks faster on your own.
Squaredle tips
- Faded letters are used up for required words, but you can still use them for bonus words.
- Look for plurals and simple endings. If you found TRAIN, try TRAINS and TRAINED.
- Long words often snake around the edge of the grid, so trace the outside rows slowly.
- Friday puzzles are the hardest of the week, so save extra time for them.
