How to play Squaredle
- Swipe or click through adjacent letters (including diagonals) to spell a word of four letters or more.
- Each letter cell can be used only once per word.
- Find all the words on the list; extra valid words count as bonus words.
- Use the hints in the word list if you get stuck on the last few words.
Tips
- Look for common prefixes and endings like RE-, -ING and -ED, then extend words you have already found.
- Plurals are allowed, so add an S where one is touching the end of a word.
- The board often hides one long word that uses most of the letters; finding it unlocks shorter ones.
