About Squaredle

Squaredle is a daily word search game. Players connect letters in a grid, in any direction, to form words. A new puzzle is released each day at 3am Pacific, along with a daily 3x3 Express puzzle. The site also includes an archive of past and classic puzzles, plus special puzzles.

Progress is tracked with a progress bar that unlocks hints at a set point. Longer words earn more points. Bonus words, which are obscure, archaic, or some slang, do not count toward the score but are shown separately, and a leaderboard shows who has found the most. A global average score is also displayed. Each puzzle includes one free hint reveal, with one more for finding the Bonus Word of the Day. The Squaredle Squared subscription, which starts with a 7-day free trial, adds premium puzzles, features, and extra reveals. Word validity is based on the NASPA NWL2023 word list. Pricing is not stated on the homepage.
